["Geertjan Wielenga (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-415?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16372596#comment-16372596 ] 

Geertjan Wielenga commented on NETBEANS-415:
--------------------------------------------

NetBeans does not require or run on JDK 7. Only JDK 8 and above are supported.

> Given that Netbeans now requires JDK 7, consider having the code generator delegate to
> {{Objects.hashCode(Object)}} and {{Objects.hash(Object...)}} as they result in cleaner code than what is currently being generated.
> As for {{equals()}}, the implementation generated by Netbeans violates the Java specification of java.lang.Object and should be fixed right away. You can read a more detailed discussion at [https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156994] [1] but essentially we agreed to fix this with a flag in the Options dialog to let users decide which approach they prefer.
> [1] In my last post I suggested:
>  # Making "instanceof" the default.
>  # Warning if a class uses "instanceof" and subclasses override equals/hashCode.
>  # Allowing users to configure whether they prefer instanceof or getClass()-based implementations of equals/hashcode on a project-level.
>  # Warning if a class uses "getClass()" and has any subclasses.
>  # Warnings should appear on the subclasses, not the parent class.
