#1431 [java] SuspiciousEqualsMethodName: false positive

[Alberto Fernández]

False positive on overriding interafaces that declare other equals method.
Example:

import ;

public class Demo implements org.hibernate.usertype.UserType {
// ... skipped ...
@Override
public boolean equals(Object x, Object y) throws HibernateException {
return x == null ? y == null : x.equals(y);
}
}

The interface defines an equals method with two parameters.

Proposed solution: skip this rule if there is an @Override tag (that verifies that you're truly and correctly overriding the method)

[Andreas Dangel]

Methods that have the @Override annotation are ignored now.
This bug will be fixed with PMD 5.3.6.
