Exceptions
MET08-J-EX0: Requirements of this rule may be violated provided that the incompatible types are never compared. There are classes in the Java platform libraries (and elsewhere) that extend an instantiable class by adding a value component. For example, java.sql.Timestamp
extends java.util.Date
and adds a nanoseconds field. The equals()
implementation for Timestamp
violates symmetry and can cause erratic behavior when Timestamp
and Date
objects are used in the same collection or are otherwise intermixed [Bloch 2008].
