> EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals return false if both values of the two objects
> on a field is null. Is this behavior intended?
> Consider the following example:
> {code}class Person {
> String name;
> int age;
> String phone = null;
> ...
> }{code}
> And a test method:
> {code}Person p1 = new Person();
> p1.name = "Mike";
> p1.age = 30;
> Person p2 = new Person();
> p2.name = "Mike";
> p2.age = 30;
> assertTrue(EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(p1, p2));{code}
> This test won't pass because the assertion will fail.
> Moreover, in this example, the objects we compare are actually equal(morally
> speaking) and the check should therefore return true.
> What motivates the current behavior?
