Description

Please consider overriding "hashCode" and "equals" in the engine's entities (such as TaskEntity or ExecutionEntity). This would make it more convenient and secure to use the entities in hash-based collections or maps.

Example in attached JUnit test: Joining the list of tasks resulting from two separate queries in a HashSet in order to avoid duplicate entries.

that would be quite a lot of work to compare the whole substructures of entities. and while i agree that would be convenient now and then, i don't think it's necessary nor worth the effort.
