equals and hashCode: Is Objects.hash method broken?

Question

I am using Java 7, and I have the following class below. I implemented equals and hashCode correctly, but the problem is that equals r

Answer 1

it's not necessary for two unequal objects to have different hashes, the important thing is to have the same hash for two equal objects.

I can implement hashCode() like this :

public int hashCode() {
    return 5;
}

and it will stay correct (but inefficient).
