Update a list from another list

Programmer Question

I have a list of users in local store that I need to update from a remote list of users every once in a while. Basically:

1. If a remote user already exists locally, update its fields.


2. If a remote user doesn't already exist locally, add the user.


3. If a local user doesn't appear in the remote list, deactivate or delete.


4. If a local user also appears in the remote list, update its fields.

Just a simple case of syncing the local list. Is there a better way to do this in pure Java than the following? I feel gross looking at my own code.

public class User {
    Integer id;
    String email;
    boolean active;

    //Getters and Setters.......

    public User(Integer id, String email, boolean active) {
        this.id = id;
        this.email = email;
        this.active = active;
    }

    @Override 
    public boolean equals(Object other) {
        boolean result = false;
        if (other instanceof User) {
            User that = (User) other;
            result = (this.getId() == that.getId());
        }
        return result;
    }

}




public static void main(String[] args) {

    //From 3rd party
    List<User> remoteUsers = getRemoteUsers();

    //From Local store
    List<User> localUsers =getLocalUsers();     

    for (User remoteUser : remoteUsers) {
        boolean found = false;
        for (User localUser : localUsers) {
            if (remoteUser.equals(localUser)) {
                found = true;
                localUser.setActive(remoteUser.isActive());
                localUser.setEmail(remoteUser.getEmail());
                //update
            } 
            break;
        }
        if (!found) {
            User user = new User(remoteUser.getId(), remoteUser.getEmail(), remoteUser.isActive());
            //Save
        }
    }

    for(User localUser : localUsers ) {
        boolean found = false;
        for(User remoteUser : remoteUsers) {
            if(localUser.equals(remoteUser)) {
                found = true;
                localUser.setActive(remoteUser.isActive());
                localUser.setEmail(remoteUser.getEmail());
                //Update
            }
            break;
        }
        if(!found) {
            localUser.setActive(false);
            // Deactivate
        }
    }
}
