In all honesty, I prefer the last one.  At least I can see what is going 
on, and I don't think it is long at all.  There are plenty of good 
examples where Java is verbose.  This isn't one of them.

And overriding "equals" in this way is pernicious.

If you're referring to whomever invented that source formatting style, 
then yeah, it's grody.  But that's not Java's fault.
