In C#, == delegates to .Equals() which you can still override in records. Same as with Java records btw.

EqualsVerifier has become less needed since the introduction of records in Java, but people still find it useful.

When I worked in C# my coworkers even asked if I could do a port.

EqualsVerifier 4.2 is out!

It has prefab values for Java 25's ScopedValues, but the main attraction is that support for #Kotlin delegates is greatly improved! They're now much easier to work with, and also error messages are much clearer.

Was it successful? 😄

It was 8 days ago that I checked that it worked. So I assumed it worked. But I noticed this morning that the smart thermostat had been offline for 6 days ... 🤦🏻

But now it works again. Don't know about tomorrow, but today it works!

Haha, and when you've learned to type on this, you won't be able to type on regular keyboards anymore, right? 😅

I don't want to admit it but I feel the same way. It's become standard procedure for me to take a train earlier because I don't trust them to get me where I need to go on time.

That's what you get when you consistently underfund such an important piece of infrastructure...

EqualsVerifier 4.1 is out!

It adds the method withResettablePrefabValues, which allows you to have values that are re-inintialized after each check that EqualsVerifier runs internally. Handy for values that mutate when they're used.

Thanks for the kind words!

I've played around with OpenRewrite and used it on EqualsVerifier's codebase to update some things, but I haven't used it to create recipes for EqualsVerifier itself. Sounds like a cool idea!

Ugh. Kobo have replaced Pocket with Instapaper, even on my antiquated device, and in the upgrade somehow managed to destroy my Wallabag setup.

It also now shows dozens of 99% read Pocket articles on my homescreen that I can no longer access.

Time for a factory reset...

Looks like I'll have to update my blog soon: there's a new player in town 😄

This was the inspiration from @jqno.nl :

He nerd sniped me, by hitting a well known pain point in the Java community.

Why are there no decent code formatters for Java?

So, here is my new #java side-project:

jdtfmt - a Java #formatter for the command line.
* Can be paired with #spotless (both use jdt).
* fast (native)

Thanks to @jqno.nl for the inspiration, @mthmulders.bsky.social for #graalvm hints and @bdemers.io for encouraging me 😀

So then why is it telling me, the reviewer, instead of the person who made the commit?

Also, sometimes it's just inevitable to have a large commit...

Yes let's hide the important stuff, thanks GitHub

That would be the dream 😄

It's pretty fast, but still more than a second, and you have to format a whole project at a time.

I'm looking for something like gofmt, which formats a single file in milliseconds.

But I'm happy to hear that it solves your use case!

It should be possible, I did look at how spotless integrates with it, you should be able to do the same from a standalone app.
An advantage of using EclipseJDT is that it's also an IDE, so it has an incentive to be up-to-date with new language features...
