@NonExtendable
public abstract class HashCode
extends Object
implements Serializable

Abstract HashCode container to ease maintaining a hashCode for complex classes having mutable values being part of the hashCode. HashCode gets computed based on the description given in "Effective Java".

To compute the hashCode, subclasses have to override append(), which may append all fields important for equality by invoking the protected append-methods.

This implementation will cache a computed hashCode until it is marked with beDirty().

This class is heavyweight, use HashCodeBuilder as a lightweight option.
