    Description

      While it is very nice reflection can be used to build a nice equals method, the strategy to focus on private properties is non-negotiable. This strategy is incompatible with CGLIB proxies which rely on method invocations to delegate to the properties of the inner target. I would prefer a switch to dynamically invoke public get* methods over direct property access.

      PS: Same thoughts on ReflectionToStringBuilder and HashCodeBuilder
