JsonInclude custom filter with Spotbugs error EQ_CHECK_FOR_OPERAND_NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_THIS

Question

I have a Car class and a custom JsonInclude filter class IgnoreTrueFilter, the goal is to only serialize isNew property when its value is false:

public class Car {
  @JsonInclude(value = JsonInclude.Include.CUSTOM, valueFilter = IgnoreTrueFilter.class)
  private boolean isNew = true;
}

public static class IgnoreTrueFilter {
  @Override
  public boolean equals(Object value) {
    if (!(value instanceof Boolean)) {
      return true;
    }
    return Boolean.TRUE.equals(value);
  }
}

This works fine functionally, but Spotbugs is complaining:

$IgnoreTrueFilter.equals(Object) checks for operand being a Boolean EQ_CHECK_FOR_OPERAND_NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_THIS

It looks like Spotbugs is expecting the overriden equals method to check for a IgnoreTrueFilter instance instead of Boolean. But I'm just following JsonInclude.Include.CUSTOM's guidance:

* Filter object's equals() method is called with value
* to serialize; if it returns true value is excluded
* (that is, filtered out); if false value is included.

Any idea how to get around this error?
