autogenerated equals() and hashCode() bug

Hello pj,

This is indeed a bug. Could you please file a bug report at http://www.jetbrains.net/jira
?

hello,
this might have been discussed before, but I had some problems with
the auto-generated equals() and hashCode() when my class contains
arrays...
I'm using IntelliJ 7.0.2 and Java 1.4. Java 1.4 contains the method
Arrays.equals(), whereas Arrays.hashCode() was introduced in Java 5.
So when IntelliJ generates the equals()-method, Arrays.equals() is
used for the array, but in the hashCode()-method, the hashCode() of
the array is calculated by using Object.hashCode(). A bit difficult to
explain, maybe it is easier if you look at the attached file.

Anyway, I believe this is a "bug" in IntelliJ as this breaks the
contract of the hashCode()-method which says that object value
equality implies hash code equality.

Any thoughts?

BTW: Eclipse generated a correct equals() and hashCode() :)
