      • getResource

        Resource getResource()
        Returns the resource declaring this requirement.
        Returns:
        The resource declaring this requirement. This can be null if this requirement is synthesized.

      • equals

        boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Compares this Requirement to another Requirement.

        This Requirement is equal to another Requirement if they have the same namespace, directives and attributes and are declared by the same resource.

        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
        Parameters:
        obj - The object to compare against this Requirement.
        Returns:
        true if this Requirement is equal to the other object; false otherwise.

      • hashCode

        int hashCode()
        Returns the hashCode of this Requirement.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
