Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4723:
----------------------------------------
I'll look into that. The pitty is that there are pros for treating them
differently as well as for treating them the same. And what might be useful
within a document might not be if comparing content from different documents.
In addition PDFBox is not consistent as for some base tokens equals() and
hashCode() is overwritten where for others it's not.
> Add equals() and hashCode() to PDAnnotation and COS objects

> In order to proper support removeAll/retainAll for COSArrayList we need to
> detect if entries are in fact duplicates of others. This currently fails as
> even though one might add the same instance of an annotation object multiple
> times to setAnnotations getting the annotations will have individual
> instances. See the discussion at PDFBOX-4669.
> In order to proper support removal we need to be able to detect equality
> where an object is equal if the underlying COSDictionary has the same entries.
