Our project contains several classes that we have equals() and hashCode() methods generated by Eclipse (Right Click -> Source -> Generate hashCode() and equals()).
Example:
@Override public boolean equals(Object obj) { if (this == obj) return true; if (obj == null) return false; if (getClass() != obj.getClass()) return false; final MyTO other = (MyTO) obj; if (num != other.num) return false; if (name == null) { if (other.name != null) return false; } else if (!name.equals(other.name)) return false; if (table == null) { if (other.table != null) return false; } else if (!table.equals(other.table)) return false; return true; }
These methods that work well for our application, but unfortunately do not pass our cyclomatic complexity checks with Checkstyle. Since these methods are auto-generated, we are not concerned with their complexity. We could suppress the entire class from Checkstyle, but we would prefer to be able to exclude just these two methods.
Does anyone know how to create a custom rule in Checkstyle that will allow us to exclude generated equals() and hashCode() methods in any way, without excluding the entire class?
