Hi, Shashi.
HashTable class uses these methods for key types used in the hash table, hence they need to be implemented as part of the key types. The JCK test already tests this, so Sergey do you want me to write another open test for this problem?
The rules above are applicable to the keys of the hashtable, but you did not use your new class as a key. The new test is needed because the old test will be excluded. Please take a look to this comment as well: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/swing-dev/2019-January/009277.html -- Best regards, Sergey.
