Description

EqualsBuilder causes StackOverflowException when comparing objects with cyclical object references.

e,g.
static class TestObjectReference {
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private TestObjectReference reference;
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private TestObject one;

public TestObjectReference(int one)

{ this.one = new TestObject(one); }

public void setObjectReference(
TestObjectReference reference)

{ this.reference = reference; }

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj)

{ return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj); }

}
