How do I assert equality on two classes without an equals method?

Question

Say I have a class with no equals() method, to which do not have the source. I want to assert equality on two instances of that class.

I can do multiple asserts:

Answer 1

This is a generic compare method , that compares two objects of a same class for its values of it fields(keep in mind those are accessible by get method)

public static  void compare(T a, T b) throws NoSuchMethodException, InvocationTargetException, IllegalAccessException {
    AssertionError error = null;
    Class A = a.getClass();
    Class B = a.getClass();
    for (Method mA : A.getDeclaredMethods()) {
        if (mA.getName().startsWith("get")) {
            Method mB = B.getMethod(mA.getName(),null );
            try {
                Assert.assertEquals("Not Matched = ",mA.invoke(a),mB.invoke(b));
            }catch (AssertionError e){
                if(error==null){
                    error = new AssertionError(e);
                }
                else {
                    error.addSuppressed(e);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    if(error!=null){
        throw error ;
    }
}
