Returns:

String The default equals method implementation.

generateHashCodeMethod

protected String generateHashCodeMethod()

Generate the equals method for the JavaBean.

Returns:

String The default hashCode method implementation.

generateCompareToMethod

protected String generateCompareToMethod()

Generate the compareTo method for the JavaBean.

Returns:

String The default compareTo method implementation.

generateCloneMethod
