      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      OS : Windows 10
      Java Runtime :

      C:\Users\dbgud>java -version
      java version "1.8.0_211"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_211-b12)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.211-b12, mixed mode)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      comparing max value of Long type variable makes an error,

      Let's see the code:

      long a = 9223372036854775807L;
      long b = 9223372036854775807L;
      System.out.println(a == b);

      this returns true;

      but,
      Long a = 9223372036854775807L;
      Long b = 9223372036854775807L;
      System.out.println(a == b);

      this returns false

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      run the code below:

      Long a = 9223372036854775807L;
      Long b = 9223372036854775807L;
      System.out.println(a == b);

      ACTUAL -
      false

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      changing type of variable from Long to long

      FREQUENCY : always
