java.lang.reflect.Field getType() result cannot compare with type using equals() [duplicate]

• Check type of primitive field 3 answers

Most probably I oversee something in this trivial use case. My code iterates over annotated fields in a class and the for every field I'd like to run some code dependent on the type. The simplest is just to set a value:

field.setAccessible(true);
final Class<?> type = field.getType();
if (type.equals(Boolean.class)) {
    field.set(this, Boolean.parseBoolean(property));
} else if (type.equals(Integer.class)) {
    field.set(this, Integer.parseInt(property));
} else if (type.equals(String.class)) {
    field.set(this, property);
} else {
    LOGGER.warn("Cannot parse property -{}{}. Unknown type defined.", option.getOpt(),
            field.getName());
}

However this check:

if (type.equals(Boolean.class))

dosn't work as expected e.g. for a field defined as private boolean isVerbose;. After inspection of type I got the property name as just only "boolean" where the Boolean.class property name was filled with "java.lang.Boolean". These object were different.

What would be the right implementation of this scenario?
