There should be a DifferenceBuilder with a ReflectionDifferenceBuilder
implementation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-637
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-637
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: General
Reporter: Eric Lewis
Priority: Minor
The ToStringBuilder and ReflectionToStringBuilder are great tools for everyday
development.
We use them to show all the properties in an object, which comes handy
especially for testing.
However, JUnit with its assertEquals() just outputs the toString() of the two
compared objects. For complex objects, this becomes unreadable.
So, it would be great to have a DifferenceBuilder with a
ReflectionDifferenceBuilder implementation to be able to get only the differing
properties of two objects. The question is whether the two objects would have
to be of the same type or not.
