/**
 * Predicate that compares the input object with the one stored in the predicate using a comparator.
 * In addition, the comparator result can be evaluated in accordance to a supplied criterion value.
 *
 * In order to demonstrate the use of the predicate, the following variables are declared:
 *
 *  * Integer ONE = Integer.valueOf(1);
 * Integer TWO = Integer.valueOf(2);
 *
 * Comparator comparator = new Comparator() {
 *
 *     public int compare(Object first, Object second) {
 *         return ((Integer) second) - ((Integer) first);
 *     }
 *
 * };
 * 
 *
 * Using the declared variables, the ComparatorPredicate can be used used in the
 * following way:
 *
 *  * ComparatorPredicate.comparatorPredicate(ONE, comparator).evaluate(TWO);
 * 
 *
 * The input variable TWO in compared to the stored variable ONE using
 * the supplied comparator. This is the default usage of the predicate and will return
 * true if the underlying comparator returns 0. In addition to the default
 * usage of the predicate, it is possible to evaluate the comparator's result in several ways. The
 * following {@link Criterion} enumeration values are provided by the predicate:
 * 
 *
 * 
 *     EQUAL
 *     GREATER
 *     GREATER_OR_EQUAL
 *     LESS
 *     LESS_OR_EQUAL
 * 
 *
 * The following examples demonstrates how these constants can be used in order to manipulate the
 * evaluation of a comparator result.
 *
 *  * ComparatorPredicate.comparatorPredicate(ONE, comparator,ComparatorPredicate.Criterion.GREATER).evaluate(TWO);
 * 
 *
 * The input variable TWO is compared to the stored variable ONE using the supplied comparator
 * using the GREATER evaluation criterion constant. This instructs the predicate to
 * return true if the comparator returns a value greater than 0.
