Hi Jim,
I am trying to modify/add equals()/hashCode() methods in java.awt.image.ComponentSampleModel() and its subclasses. In BandedSampleModel and PixelInterleavedSampleModel I see that we have just hashCode() functions and not equals() and these hashCode() function are returning just constant value. I am not able to find private variables or unique properties which are set in BandedSampleModel/PixelInterleavedSampleModel for the need to override equals()/hashCode() methods. Can we remove hashCode() function present BandedSampleModel/PixelInterleavedSampleModel and rely on ComponentSampleModel? What is the purpose of having hasCode() function returning constant value in these subclasses? Please provide your inputs. Thanks, Jay
