<br>
<br>I have a problem with equal classes that have many fields. I can&#39;t=

understand which fields is not equal. I have to compare long toString=20
output from two non-equal objects. Or write assertEquals() for every field.
<br>
<br>I&#39;m seeking &quot;reflectEquals&quot; matcher which prints name of =
the non-equal field.
<br>Do you know similar matchers?
<br>
