Method Detail

areEqual

boolean areEqual(@Nonnull
                 T aObj1,
                 @Nonnull
                 T aObj2)

Check if the passed two objects are identical or not.

Parameters:

aObj1 - First object. May not be null.

aObj2 - Second object. May not be null.

Returns:

true if the passed objects are equals according to the specification of Object.class.

implementationEqualsOverridesInterface

default boolean implementationEqualsOverridesInterface()

Returns:

true if this implementation is designed to work on an interface, but equals is called for an implementation of that interface and provides its own equal method.
