-----------------------------------
> MapEntry#compareTo method is not consistent and might throw ISE on Java7

> Key: SLING-2975
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2975
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ResourceResolver
> Affects Versions: Resource Resolver 1.0.6
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: Resource Resolver 1.1.0
>
>
> On Java7 sorting the map entries might result in an IllegalStateException:
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general
> contract!
> at java.util.ComparableTimSort.mergeLo(ComparableTimSort.java:714)
> at java.util.ComparableTimSort.mergeAt(ComparableTimSort.java:451)
> at java.util.ComparableTimSort.mergeCollapse(ComparableTimSort.java:376)
> at java.util.ComparableTimSort.sort(ComparableTimSort.java:182)
> at java.util.ComparableTimSort.sort(ComparableTimSort.java:146)
> at java.util.Arrays.sort(Arrays.java:472)
> at java.util.Collections.sort(Collections.java:155)
> The behaviour of sorting has changed with Java7 (see
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7849539/comparison-method-violates-its-general-contract-java-7-only)
> and it now throws such an exception if the compare method is not implemented
> in an consistent way.
> In our case: if the two strings have the same lengths, always 1 is returned,
> so compareTo("a", "b") returns 1 while compareTo("b", "a") returns 1 as well
