/**
* Assists in implementing {@link Object#equals(Object)} methods.
*
* This class provides methods to build a good equals method for any
* class. It follows rules laid out in
* Effective Java
* , by Joshua Bloch. In particular the rule for comparing doubles,
* floats, and arrays can be tricky. Also, making sure that
* equals() and hashCode() are consistent can be
* difficult.
*
* Two Objects that compare as equals must generate the same hash code,
* but two Objects with the same hash code do not have to be equal.
*
* All relevant fields should be included in the calculation of equals.
* Derived fields may be ignored. In particular, any field used in
* generating a hash code must be used in the equals method, and vice
* versa.
*
* Typical use for the code is as follows:
*
* public boolean equals(Object obj) {
* if (obj instanceof MyClass == false) {
* return false;
* }
* if (this == obj) {
* return true;
* }
* MyClass rhs = (MyClass) obj;
* return new EqualsBuilder()
* .appendSuper(super.equals(obj))
* .append(field1, rhs.field1)
* .append(field2, rhs.field2)
* .append(field3, rhs.field3)
* .isEquals();
* }
*
*
* Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
* the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
* reflectionEquals, uses AccessibleObject.setAccessible to
* change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security
* manager, unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is
* also slower than testing explicitly.
*
* A typical invocation for this method would look like:
*
* public boolean equals(Object obj) {
* return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj);
* }
