Eclipse Code Templates - toString, equals, hashCode

Finally I decided to write a code template that I can use in order to create those infamous methods that should be a part of everyone's DTO. Those methods are toString(), equals(), and hashCode().

The template does assume that you are using the commons-lang library. Feel free to use it and pay it forward:

${:import(org.apache.commons.lang.builder.EqualsBuilder,
org.apache.commons.lang.builder.HashCodeBuilder,
org.apache.commons.lang.builder.ReflectionToStringBuilder)}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {        
    return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj);
}

@Override
public String toString() {
    return ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(this);
}

@Override
public int hashCode() {
    return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this);
}

Enjoy.
