Re: Patch fixes bad equals signatures

[Michael Glavassevich]

Well since these classes are public in the Java keyword sense nothing's stopping people from using this code, however they're not intended for general use. Besides that they're subject to change (including removal) at anytime, many of these classes make assumptions (unique strings objects, no handling of invalid input, etc...) which are only valid when they interact with other internal classes. If you have complex and specific needs, such as the need to build your own parser configuration, then it might be useful to use or extend some of these classes however their use is not supported.
