/**
* <p><code>CompareTo</code> generation routines.</p>
*
* <p>This class provides methods to build a good <comde>compareTo()</code>
* method for any class. It is consistent with the <code>equals</code> and
* <code>hashcode</code> built with {@link EqualsBuilder} and
* {@link HashCodeBuilder}.</p>
*
* <p>Two object that compare equal using equals should normally compare
* equals using <code>compareTo</code></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</code> and
* <code>equals</code>.</p>
*
* <p>Typical use for the code is as follows:</p>
*
* <pre>
* public int compareTo(Object o) {
* MyClass rhs = (MyClass) o;
* return new CompareToBuilder()
* .appendSuper(super.compareTo(o)
* .append(field1, rhs.field1)
* .append(field2, rhs.field2)
* .append(field3, rhs.field3)
* .toComparison();
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
* the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
* <code>reflectionCompare</code>, uses <code>Field.setAccessible</code> to change
* the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager,
* unless the appropriate permissions are set. It is also slower than testing
* explicitly.</p>
*
* <p>A typical invocation for this method would look like:</p>
* <pre>
* public int compareTo(Object o) {
* return CompareToBuilder.reflectionCompare(this, obj);
* }
* </pre>
