> When using ReflectionDiffBuilder to make a diff between two object it will be default include all fields. As stated in the documentation static and transient fields are excluded.
> Using the transient modifier in combination with other frameworks ( such as Hibernate ) also has a side affect that those fields are not persisted.
> The use case I'm trying to solve it making a diff of an object that get's updated and has a LastModificationDate and LastModificationUser and thus will always be a field in the diff.
