Bug 462484

Description Franz van Betteraey 2015-03-18 12:37:34 EDT

Eclipse offers the ability to generate equals and hashCode methods. The generated code is verbose and could be more compact and readable since the introduction of the "Objetcs" class in Java 7 (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Objects.html).

Example:

package foobar;

import java.util.Objects;

public class FooBar {

  public int foo;
  public String bar;

  @Override
  public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    if (this == obj) {
      return true;
    }
    if (obj == null || getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
      return false;
    }
    FooBar other = (FooBar) obj;
    return Objects.equals(foo, other.foo) && Objects.equals(bar, other.bar);
  }

  @Override
  public int hashCode() {
    return Objects.hash(foo, bar);
  }

}

As this code only works since Java 7 it would be nice if the code style could be selectable.
