-/**
- * Indicates that the class follows the equal-by-content contract, usually
- * associated with {@link Value value} types.
- *
- * <p>
- * If a class claims to be equal-by-content then its {@link #equals(Object)}
- * should return <tt>true</tt> if its content (as opposed to identity) is the
- * same. For example, {@link String}, {@link BigDecimal} and {@link Date} follow
- * this contract.
- *
- * <p>
- * Note also that the Java Language Specification requires that two objects that
- * are {@link #equals(Object) equal} must return the same value from
- * {@link #hashCode()}. Failure to do this means that that the object will not
- * behave correctly when used as a key into a hashing structure (eg a
- * {@link HashMap}).
- *
- * <p>
- * By default any {@link Value value} types are assumed to follow the
- * equal-by-content rule, though this can be overridden if required.
- * Value types are usually also immutable (though there are some classic
- * exceptions to this, such as {@link Date}).
- *
- * @see Value
- *
- * <p>
- *     Note: This annotation is only incompletely recognized by the framework, and may be deprecated in the future.
