Encapsulate trival equal test into a method to avoid repeating over and over.....

In class EqualsBuilder, the documentation gives sample code on how to use EqualsBuilder. The proper usage of class EqualsBuilder is a bit long. My suggestion is to encapsulate the following trivial test into a method inside the class EqualsBuilder. You call it the new method trivalTest(Object obj1, Object obj2).

// This is the code that should be put in a method to avoid repeating....
if (obj == null)

{ return false; }

if (obj == this)

{ return true; }

if (obj.getClass() != getClass())

{ return false; }
