[jira] [Created] (LANG-1035) Javadoc for EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals() is unclear

Duncan Jones created LANG-1035:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Javadoc for EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals() is unclear
                 Key: LANG-1035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1035
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: lang.builder.*
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2
            Reporter: Duncan Jones
             Fix For: Patch Needed


The Javadoc for {{EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals()}} doesn't explain that {{.equals()}} is used to compare non-primitive fields in the class.

Consequently, readers may assume the method recursively builds {{.equals()}} for all fields. We should clarify this.
