Description

HashCodeBuilder encapsulates the good advice of Joshua Bloch. He details how each java.lang type should be hashed. I want to use those too ... but without reflection. Please expose those as static methods:

hashInt, hashBoolean, etc.
They should take two parameters: the field value, and the hash multiplier value.
