.equals in KMF about kevoree-modeling-framework

[brice-morin]

My typical use case: I basically want to test that KMF loaders and serializers work as they should i.e. (in pseudo-code)

myModel = load(...)
save(myModel, ...)
myNewModel = load(...)
assertTrue(myModel.equals(myNewModel))//should be true, if loader and serializer work fine

I am of course not interested in testing:

assertTrue(myModel == myNewModel)//will always be false, since objects are distincts, but equals (in principle)

with == to be interpreted in the Java sense

A good source of inspiration might be:

Of course, the generative approach of KMF should avoid all those reflexive calls, since we now exactly what we want to compare :-)

I am very happy for now, but might come back some time soon on that topic :-)
