32  /**
33   * Assists in implementing {@link Object#equals(Object)} methods.
34   *
35   * <p> This class provides methods to build a good equals method for any
36   * class. It follows rules laid out in
37   * <a href="https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/effectivejava.html">Effective Java</a>
38   * , by Joshua Bloch. In particular the rule for comparing {@code doubles},
39   * {@code floats}, and arrays can be tricky. Also, making sure that
40   * {@code equals()} and {@code hashCode()} are consistent can be
41   * difficult.</p>
42   *
43   * <p>Two Objects that compare as equals must generate the same hash code,
44   * but two Objects with the same hash code do not have to be equal.</p>
45   *
46   * <p>All relevant fields should be included in the calculation of equals.
47   * Derived fields may be ignored. In particular, any field used in
48   * generating a hash code must be used in the equals method, and vice
49   * versa.</p>
50   *
51   * <p>Typical use for the code is as follows:</p>
52   * <pre>
53   * public boolean equals(Object obj) {
54   *   if (obj == null) { return false; }
55   *   if (obj == this) { return true; }
56   *   if (obj.getClass() != getClass()) {
57   *     return false;
58   *   }
59   *   MyClass rhs = (MyClass) obj;
60   *   return new EqualsBuilder()
61   *                 .appendSuper(super.equals(obj))
62   *                 .append(field1, rhs.field1)
63   *                 .append(field2, rhs.field2)
64   *                 .append(field3, rhs.field3)
65   *                 .isEquals();
66   *  }
67   * </pre>
68   *
69   * <p> Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
70   * the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
71   * {@code reflectionEquals}, uses {@code AccessibleObject.setAccessible} to
72   * change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security
73   * manager, unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is
74   * also slower than testing explicitly.  Non-primitive fields are compared using
75   * {@code equals()}.</p>
76   *
77   * <p> A typical invocation for this method would look like:</p>
78   * <pre>
79   * public boolean equals(Object obj) {
80   *   return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj);
81   * }
82   * </pre>
83   *
84   * <p>The {@link EqualsExclude} annotation can be used to exclude fields from being
85   * used by the {@code reflectionEquals} methods.</p>
86   *
