JAXB2 SimpleEquals Plugin - highsource/jaxb-tools GitHub Wiki

Adds deep, reflection-free, runtime-free equals(...) methods to the schema-derived classes.

This plugin also handles JAXBElements and, arrays and primitive types to generate the best possible equals(...) methods.

Unlike the JAXB2 Equals Plugin, this plugin does not require runtime libraries. But at the same time the generated methods do not accept locators or strategies.

Usage

• Activate the plugin using the -XsimpleEquals switch.

See Using JAXB2 Basics Plugins.
