     Just stir the String's hashes into what you've already got:

	public int hashCode() {
	    long bits = java.lang.Double.doubleToLongBits(getX());
	    bits ^= java.lang.Double.doubleToLongBits(getY()) * 31;
	    bits ^= Objects.hashCode(getStringThing()) * 29;
	    bits ^= Objects.hashCode(getStrungOut()) * 37;
	    bits ^= Objects.hashCode(getStringBikini()) * 59;
	    ...
	    return ...
	}

Choice of multipliers is up to you; perhaps you'd want a few large long
values to stir some string bits into the high order half (might not make
much difference post-fold, though).

     Note that all the String values must also be tested in equals().
