Java conditional issue

Question

No matter what I do this piece of code will never evaluate to true when the user inputs 1 at the console... I'm confused as to why it is evaluating to false.. any help is much appreciated.

import java.io.*;
public class Default 
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        System.out.println("Welcome to the CS conversation game\n");
        System.out.println("Choose your game\n1)Hex to Decimal\n2)Binary to Decimal");
        Hex2Decimal PlayHex = new Hex2Decimal();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

        String GameSelection = null;
        try 
        {
            GameSelection = br.readLine();
        }
        catch (IOException ex) 
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        if(GameSelection == "1")
        {
            PlayHex.Play();

        }
    }
}

Should be "1".equals(GameSelection), == compares references of objects, while equals compares content.

Also, the Java naming convention is to start variable names in lower case. (e.g. gameSelection, playHex etc.)
