    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1006?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12801332#comment-12801332 ] 

Vineet Reynolds commented on FORGE-1006:
----------------------------------------

A new plugin {{update-entity}} is now available, with a {{hashcode-and-equals}} command that allows users to generate {{equals()}} and {{hashCode()}} implementations based on user-chosen fields.

> As a result of FORGE-995 and FORGE-1005 the generated {{equals}} and {{hashcode}} implementations for JPA entities would be typically incorrect due to reliance on the auto-generated primary key value.
> Additionally, since the {{equals}} and {{hashCode}} methods are generated only once during creation of the JPA entity class, these methods would be out of date as more fields are added (unlike the {{toString}} method). We should enhance or regenerate the existing methods as new fields are added via the field plugin.
