Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2012-11-19 12:15:39 UTC 
this issue is related to issue 220248, which most likely was integrated before build 201211050001 and should be therefore part of it.

the only remaining difference between equals and compare method was the version field which was processed through ComparableVersion in compare(). now equals() and hashcode() do the same.
http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/dec3d963eb5e

I can only imagine it failing in the case when 2 instances were only differing in the version field and the version name pattern in the first one was RELEASE.6.0.1 and in the other one RELEASE601.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201211211016* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/dec3d963eb5e
User: Milos Kleint <mkleint@netbeans.org>
Log: #222286 make sure equals+hashcode use exactly the same fields as compare
