Description

Line 381 of org.apache.commons.lang.EqualsBuilder fails to compile because the compareTo call requires a BigDecimal rather than an object.

376 public EqualsBuilder append(Object lhs, Object rhs) {
...
379 if (!lhsClass.isArray()) {
380 if (lhs instanceof java.math.BigDecimal)

{ 381 isEquals = (((java.math.BigDecimal)lhs).compareTo(rhs) == 0); 382 }

else {

I'm using Sun's JDK 1.6.0_07 in Eclipse, not sure if this is a JDK version issue or not.
