-/**
- * Assists in implementing {@link java.lang.Comparable#compareTo(Object)} methods.
- *
- * It is consistent with <code>equals(Object)</code> and
- * <code>hashcode()</code> built with {@link EqualsBuilder} and
- * {@link HashCodeBuilder}.</p>
- *
- * <p>Two Objects that compare equal using <code>equals(Object)</code> should normally
- * also compare equal using <code>compareTo(Object)</code>.</p>
- *
- * <p>All relevant fields should be included in the calculation of the
- * comparison. Derived fields may be ignored. The same fields, in the same
- * order, should be used in both <code>compareTo(Object)</code> and
- * <code>equals(Object)</code>.</p>
- *
- * <p>To use this class write code as follows:</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * public class MyClass {
- * String field1;
- * int field2;
- * boolean field3;
- *
- * ...
- *
- * public int compareTo(Object o) {
- * MyClass myClass = (MyClass) o;
- * return new CompareToBuilder()
- * .appendSuper(super.compareTo(o)
- * .append(this.field1, myClass.field1)
- * .append(this.field2, myClass.field2)
- * .append(this.field3, myClass.field3)
- * .toComparison();
- * }
- * }
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>Alternatively, there are {@link #reflectionCompare(Object, Object) reflectionCompare} methods that use
- * reflection to determine the fields to append. Because fields can be private,
- * <code>reflectionCompare</code> uses {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(boolean)} to
- * bypass normal access control checks. This will fail under a security manager,
- * unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also
- * slower than appending explicitly.</p>
- *
- * <p>A typical implementation of <code>compareTo(Object)</code> using
- * <code>reflectionCompare</code> looks like:</p>
-
- * <pre>
- * public int compareTo(Object o) {
- * return CompareToBuilder.reflectionCompare(this, o);
- * }
- * </pre>
- *
- * @see java.lang.Comparable
- * @see java.lang.Object#equals(Object)
- * @see java.lang.Object#hashCode()
- * @see EqualsBuilder
- * @see HashCodeBuilder
- * @since 1.0
- * @version $Id: CompareToBuilder.java 1090813 2011-04-10 15:03:23Z mbenson $

+ * Assists in implementing {@link java.lang.Comparable#compareTo(Object)} methods.
+ *
+ * It is consistent with <code>equals(Object)</code> and
+ * <code>hashcode()</code> built with {@link EqualsBuilder} and
+ * {@link HashCodeBuilder}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Two Objects that compare equal using <code>equals(Object)</code> should normally
+ * also compare equal using <code>compareTo(Object)</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>All relevant fields should be included in the calculation of the
+ * comparison. Derived fields may be ignored. The same fields, in the same
+ * order, should be used in both <code>compareTo(Object)</code> and
+ * <code>equals(Object)</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>To use this class write code as follows:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * public class MyClass {
+ * String field1;
+ * int field2;
+ * boolean field3;
+ *
+ * ...
+ *
+ * public int compareTo(Object o) {
+ * MyClass myClass = (MyClass) o;
+ * return new CompareToBuilder()
+ * .appendSuper(super.compareTo(o)
+ * .append(this.field1, myClass.field1)
+ * .append(this.field2, myClass.field2)
+ * .append(this.field3, myClass.field3)
+ * .toComparison();
+ * }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>Alternatively, there are {@link #reflectionCompare(Object, Object) reflectionCompare} methods that use
+ * reflection to determine the fields to append. Because fields can be private,
+ * <code>reflectionCompare</code> uses {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(boolean)} to
+ * bypass normal access control checks. This will fail under a security manager,
+ * unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also
+ * slower than appending explicitly.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>A typical implementation of <code>compareTo(Object)</code> using
+ * <code>reflectionCompare</code> looks like:</p>
+
+ * <pre>
+ * public int compareTo(Object o) {
+ * return CompareToBuilder.reflectionCompare(this, o);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
