Class HashCodeUtil

java.lang.Object
rs.baselib.lang.HashCodeUtil
public final class HashCodeUtil extends Object
Collected methods which allow easy implementation of hashCode.

Implementation is based on the recommendations of Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch.

Example use case: 
  public int hashCode(){
    int result = HashCodeUtil.SEED;
    //collect the contributions of various fields
    result = HashCodeUtil.hash(result, fPrimitive);
    result = HashCodeUtil.hash(result, fObject);
    result = HashCodeUtil.hash(result, fArray);
    return result;
  }
