Bug: org.apache.commons.lang3.text.ExtendedMessageFormat doesn't override
java.text.MessageFormat.equals(Object)
Pattern id: EQ_DOESNT_OVERRIDE_EQUALS, type: Eq, category: STYLE
This class extends a class that defines an equals method and adds fields, but
doesn't define an equals method itself. Thus, equality on instances of this
class will ignore the identity of the subclass and the added fields. Be sure
this is what is intended, and that you don't need to override the equals
method. Even if you don't need to override the equals method, consider
overriding it anyway to document the fact that the equals method for the
subclass just return the result of invoking super.equals(o).
