---------------------------------------
Beware, though, if you push this further and further, you'll eventually have to
deal with circular references during hash calculation, and then the fun really
starts... ;)
> Add equals() and hashCode() to PDAnnotation and COS objects

> Key: PDFBOX-4723
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4723
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.18
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.19, 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
>
> 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.
