Felix Knecht updated DIRSERVER-1516:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
Following classes are lacking this problem

[apacheds-protocol-dhcp]
org.apache.directory.server.dhcp.messages.MessageType

[apacheds-protocol-ntp]
org.apache.directory.server.ntp.messages.LeapIndicatorType
org.apache.directory.server.ntp.messages.ModeType
org.apache.directory.server.ntp.messages.ReferenceIdentifier
org.apache.directory.server.ntp.messages.StratumType


http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#EQ_COMPARETO_USE_OBJECT_EQUALS

This class defines a compareTo(...) method but inherits its equals() method 
from java.lang.Object. Generally, the value of compareTo should return zero if 
and only if equals returns true. If this is violated, weird and unpredictable 
failures will occur in classes such as PriorityQueue. In Java 5 the 
PriorityQueue.remove method uses the compareTo method, while in Java 6 it uses 
the equals method.

>From the JavaDoc for the compareTo method in the Comparable interface:

    It is strongly recommended, but not strictly required that 
(x.compareTo(y)==0) == (x.equals(y)). Generally speaking, any class that 
implements the Comparable interface and violates this condition should clearly 
indicate this fact. The recommended language is "Note: this class has a natural 
ordering that is inconsistent with equals."
