public final class TaskName implements Comparable<TaskName>, Externalizable
Represents a name that can be used to identify and locate tasks from external sources.

A task name consists of a lowercase name string and arbitrary amount of lowercase qualifiers.
Name parts are in the format matching the following regular expression:

 [a-z_0-9]+(\.[a-z_0-9]+)*
 
With plain words: A dot separated non-empty parts consisting of lowercase latin ABC characters, numbers or underscore. Qualifiers parts are in the format matching the following regular expression:
 [a-z0-9_.]+
 
With plain words: A non-empty string consisting of lowercase latin ABC characters, numbers, underscore or dot.

Qualifiers are stored in a sorted manner ordered by their natural order. Task names are comparable.

Each task name have an unique string representation in the following format:

 task.name[-qualifier]*
 
Examples:
 simple.task.name
 task.with.qualifier-q1
 multi.qualifiers-q1-q2-q3

public static final Pattern PATTERN_TASK_NAME
A regular expression for matching valid task name representations.

The name part is checked in a case-insensitive manner.

public int compareTo(TaskName o)
Compares this task name to the parameter.

Task names are ordered by name first, then each qualifier is compared to the corresponding parameter qualifiers at the same position.

Compares this object with the specified object for order.Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

The implementor must ensure sgn(x.compareTo(y)) == -sgn(y.compareTo(x)) for all x and y. (This implies that x.compareTo(y) must throw an exception iff y.compareTo(x) throws an exception.)

The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: (x.compareTo(y)>0 && y.compareTo(z)>0) implies x.compareTo(z)>0.

Finally, the implementor must ensure that x.compareTo(y)==0 implies that sgn(x.compareTo(z)) == sgn(y.compareTo(z)), for all z.

It is strongly recommended, but not strictly required that (x.compareTo(y)==0) == (x.equals(y)). Generally speaking, any class that implements the Comparable interface and violates this condition should clearly indicate this fact. The recommended language is "Note: this class has a natural ordering that is inconsistent with equals."

In the foregoing description, the notation sgn(expression) designates the mathematical signum function, which is defined to return one of -1, 0, or 1 according to whether the value of expression is negative, zero or positive.

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Check if this task name equals the parameter.

Two task names equal if they have the same name and have the same qualifiers.

This method only returns true if compareTo(TaskName) returns 0.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).

Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
public final String getName()
Gets the name for this task name.
The name.
Gets a submap for the argument that contains only the entries that have the same name as the parameter task name.

public boolean hasAnyQualifiers()
Checks if the task name has any qualifiers defined for it.
true if there are at least one qualifier.
public int hashCode()
Overridden from: Object
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the Object.equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java™ programming language.)
