Description dynamite 2009-04-17 23:04:53 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200904170201 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

Object.equals specifies that any objects that are equal should also
have the same hashCode.  The NetBeans "equals() and hashCode()"
generator (accessed via alt-insert) allows the user to select
combinations of class properties that would violate this contract
between these methods.

I propose that any field in the hashCode side of the selection is
disabled and greyed-out until it is selected on the equals side. 
This would ensure that user do not errantly create incompatible
equals() and hashCode() methods.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
Any plans on including this in netbeans?

It would be great if could select if I could select which implementation should be selected:
-) normal string concatination
-) or ToHashCodeBuilder, ToEqualsBuilder....
