Hi,

I am using ECoreUtil.copier to create a copy of my EObject. However, the exact copy is created but with different hashcodes. Could anyone explain me why does the hashcodes change.

Regards,
Manoj

This is a basic Java question. Every Java Object has a hashCode. Unless there is an override of java.lang.Object.hashCode(), it will be the default Java implementation which is an arbitrary int value that is typically (but of course not always) different for two different instances. (And you should never override equals or hashCode for an EObject implementation as documented in the Javadoc for that interface.)
