/**
* Assists in implementing {@link Comparable#compareTo(Object)} methods.
*
* <p>It is consistent with {@code equals(Object)} and
* {@code hashCode()} built with {@link EqualsBuilder} and
* {@link HashCodeBuilder}.</p>
*
* <p>Two Objects that compare equal using {@code equals(Object)} should normally
* also compare equal using {@code compareTo(Object)}.</p>
*
* <p>All relevant fields should be included in the calculation of the
* comparison. Derived fields may be ignored. The same fields, in the same
* order, should be used in both {@code compareTo(Object)} and
* {@code equals(Object)}.</p>
*
* <p>To use this class write code as follows:</p>
*
* <pre>
* public class MyClass {
* String field1;
* int field2;
* boolean field3;
*
* ...
*
* public int compareTo(Object o) {
* MyClass myClass = (MyClass) o;
* return new CompareToBuilder()
* .appendSuper(super.compareTo(o)
* .append(this.field1, myClass.field1)
* .append(this.field2, myClass.field2)
* .append(this.field3, myClass.field3)
* .toComparison();
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>Values are compared in the order they are appended to the builder. If any comparison returns
* a non-zero result, then that value will be the result returned by {@code toComparison()} and all
* subsequent comparisons are skipped.</p>
*
* <p>Alternatively, there are {@link #reflectionCompare(Object, Object) reflectionCompare} methods that use
* reflection to determine the fields to append. Because fields can be private,
* {@code reflectionCompare} uses {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(boolean)} to
* bypass normal access control checks. This will fail under a security manager,
* unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also
* slower than appending explicitly.</p>
*
* <p>A typical implementation of {@code compareTo(Object)} using
* {@code reflectionCompare} looks like:</p>
* <pre>
* public int compareTo(Object o) {
* return CompareToBuilder.reflectionCompare(this, o);
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>The reflective methods compare object fields in the order returned by
* {@link Class#getDeclaredFields()}. The fields of the class are compared first, followed by those
* of its parent classes (in order from the bottom to the top of the class hierarchy).</p>

* @see Object#equals(Object)
