Dennis Baerten commented on LANG-1677:
--------------------------------------
If allowed / approved I'm willing to make a "fix" to support providing a list
of ignoredFields or an annotation similar like the functionality in the
ReflectionToStringBuilder.
> It should be possible to exclude fields in ReflectionDiffBuilder without
> being transient

> Key: LANG-1677
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1677
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: lang.builder.*
> Affects Versions: 3.12.0
> Reporter: Dennis Baerten
> Priority: Major
>
> When using ReflectionDiffBuilder to make a diff between two object it will be
> default include all fields. As stated in the documentation static and
> transient fields are excluded.
> Using the transient modifier in combination with other frameworks ( such as
> Hibernate ) also has a side affect that those fields are not persisted.
> The use case I'm trying to solve it making a diff of an object that get's
> updated and has a LastModificationDate and LastModificationUser and thus will
> always be a field in the diff.
