HI Tim, This project interests me. Would like to know more about it. Could you please explain this better?
I am confused, what will I do if I want my class's objects to be compared using XYZ.equals();? Will I write it as: @XYZ public class MyClass{ ... ... ... } or @Annot(equals="XYZ" compareTo="MyComparator") public class MyClass{ ... ... ... } LMK. -v On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 7:11 PM, Tim Lebedkov <tim.lebed...@web.de> wrote: > Hello dev@commons.apache.org reader, > > I would like to start a new project (in the sandbox?) for annotation > based implementation of methods like equals. > The idea is to annotate a class like this: > > @AutomaticEquals > class Test { > private int a; > } > > and compare 2 instances of this class using > AutomaticEquals.equals(test1, test2). > Which would work just like > org.apache.commons.lang.builder.EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, > obj); > Additional candidates for annotation based implementations could be > toString() and compare() and clone(). > > So here are my questions: > - is it OK to start a project like this here or should I start one for > example on code.google.com and move the code later to apache.org? > - if yes, what would be my next steps? > > Regards > --Tim > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > -- The first right of human is the right of EGO. -- http://digmethrough.gebogebo.com http://www.xperienceexperience.blogspot.com http://thisiswherewelive.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
