[4.0] - 2025-05-05

If you're upgrading from EqualsVerifier 3.x, please see the migration guide.

Added

• Mockito integration: if Mockito is on the classpath or modulepath, EqualsVerifier will use it to instantiate values. This reduces the need for providing prefab values. If Mockito is not available, or if EqualsVerifier.set(Mode.skipMockito()) is used, EqualsVerifier will fall back to its previous behaviour.
• forExamples(T red, T blue) as an alternative to forClass() or forPackage(). Give it two instances of a type, and it will test that type using the values already present in the fields of the instances. This way, you don't have to use withPrefabValues anymore.
• Prefab value for java.util.HexFormat. (Issue 981)

Changed

• EqualsVerifier now requires Java 17.
• EqualsVerifier is now properly modularized according to the JPMS.
• When using EqualsVerifier as a module, it's no longer needed to requires net.bytebuddy (this is now a proper transitive requirement).
• Improved error message when ClassCastException is encountered.

Removed

• Built-in prefab values for Google Guava, Joda-Time and Javafx.
• #withResetCaches(), which was deprecated since version 3.16.2.
• Warning.ZERO_FIELDS, which was deprecated since version 3.17.
• forPackage(String packageName, boolean scanRecursively), which was deprecated since version 3.19.
• forPackage(String packageName, Class<?> mustExtend), which was deprecated since version 3.19.
• forPackage(...).except(Class<?>... types), which was deprecated since version 3.19.
• forPackage(...).except(Predicate<Class<?>>... exclusionPredicate), which was deprecated since version 3.19.
