/**

* This base class is for testing that an object properly overrides
* {@link Object#equals} and {@link Object#hashCode}.
* 

*

* Here are the important contract requirements for the two methods, as * documented in the javadoc documentation for java.lang.Object: *

*

* *
1. The hashCode method must return the same integer value * every time it is invoked on the same object during the entire execution of a * Java application or applet. It need not return the same value for different * runs of an application or applet. The Java 2 platform (Java 2) documentation * further allows the hashCode value to change if the information * used in the equals method changes.
   *
   *
*
2. If two objects are equal according to the equals method, * they must return the same value from hashCode.
   *
   *
* *
3. The equals method is reflexive, which means that an * object is equal to itself: x.equals(x) should return true.
   *
   *
*
4. The equals method is symmetric: If * x.equals(y) returns true, then y.equals(x) * should return true also.
   *
   *
* *
5. The equals method is transitive: If * x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) * returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
   *
   *
*
6. The equals method is consistent. x.equals(y) * should consistently return either true or false. The Java 2 javadoc clarifies * that the result of x.equals(y) can change if the information * used in the equals comparisons change.
   *
   *
* *
7. Finally, x.equals(null) should return false.
*

* 
* Additionally, if this class implements {@link Comparable},
* {@link Serializable}, or {@link Cloneable}, then the object will be checked
* to see if these methods provide reasonable behavior.
* 
* You must implement two factory methods: getA, getB.
* 
* If the object under test implements Comparable then a < b (< c)
