Please review this PR which refines the spec of `equals()` and `hashCode()` in `java.text.Format` related classes.
The current spec for most of these methods is either "_Overrides <method_name>_" or are incomplete/wrong (i.e. see `ChoiceFormat`). This fix adjusts the spec to provide a consistent definition for the overridden methods and specify what is being compared/used to generate a hash code value. For implementations that use at most a few fields, the values are stated, otherwise a more general term is used as a substitution (i.e. see `DecimalFormat`). ------------- Commit messages: - Remove additional see tag from dFmt.hashCode() - Include CompactNumberFormat.java - Drop 'Obeys the general contract' wording and further standardizing - Touch up and standardize - Update rest of related classes - Adjust ChoiceFormat (refer to public method) - Update NumberFormat - Update DecimalFormat - Update DateFormat - Adjust ChoiceFormat - ... and 1 more: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/compare/7c169a42...84bd4708 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15459/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=15459&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-5066247 Stats: 117 lines in 9 files changed: 92 ins; 1 del; 24 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15459.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/15459/head:pull/15459 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15459
