Assuming the class is actually a Comparator, that's probably fine, though it does seem a little weird. A Comparator is supposed to implement an equals method to determine if two Comparators are logical equal such that given two different instances they would both sort something exactly the same way. Perhaps this class is just saying that can never be possible.
Yes, it looks like a sub that implies that the class's instances shouldn't be compared. I'd remove it to inherit the method implementation from Object class. Thanks, Stepan. -Nathan
