> 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).
