    public ResourceComparator()

Method Detail

### compare

    public final int compare(java.lang.Object foo,
                             java.lang.Object bar)

  Compare two objects.

  Specified by:
    `compare` in interface `java.util.Comparator`
  Parameters:
    `foo` - the first Object.
    `bar` - the second Object.
  Returns:
    a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassCastException` - if either argument is null.

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

  Test for equality with this ResourceComparator.

  Specified by:
    `equals` in interface `java.util.Comparator`
  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Parameters:
    `o` - the Object to compare against.
  Returns:
    true if the specified Object equals this one.

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Hashcode based on the rules for equality.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    a hashcode.

### resourceCompare

    protected abstract int resourceCompare(Resource foo,
                                           Resource bar)

  Compare two Resources.

  Parameters:
    `foo` - the first Resource.
    `bar` - the second Resource.
  Returns:
    a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
