>
> As explained by LANG-393 and LANG-467, {{EqualsBuilder}} fails to provide a proper way to handle {{BigDecimal}} since {{BigDecimal}} takes the scale into account when using {{equals()}} but not with {{compareTo()}}.
> Would it be possible to add a method *{{appendComparable()}}* in {{EqualsBuilder}} to manages {{Comparable}} objects when we want to build equality on {{compareTo()}} and not {{equals()}}?
> Making clear that {{EqualsBuilder}} is not compliant with {{HashCodeBuilder}} when using this method.
> For example:
> {code:borderStyle=solid}
>     return new EqualsBuilder()
>         .append(this.name, other.name)
>         .appendComparable(this.amount, other.amount)
>         .isEqual();
> {code}
> with:
> {code:title=EqualsBuilder.java|borderStyle=solid}
>     public EqualsBuilder appendComparable(Comparable lhs, Comparable rhs) {
>         int c = new CompareToBuilder()
>                 .append(lhs, rhs) // manages null
>                 .toComparison();
>         return append(c, 0);
>     }
> {code}
