### Constructor Detail

#### DelegatedResourceComparator

    public DelegatedResourceComparator()

### Method Detail

#### add

    public void add(ResourceComparator c)

Add a delegate ResourceComparator.

Parameters:
  `c` - the next delegate ResourceComparator.

#### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Equality method based on the vector of resources, or if a reference, the referredto object.

Specified by:
  `equals` in interface `java.util.Comparator<Resource>`
Overrides:
  `equals` in class `ResourceComparator`
Parameters:
  `o` - the object to check against.
Returns:
  true if there is equality.

#### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

Hashcode based on the rules for equality.

Overrides:
  `hashCode` in class `ResourceComparator`
Returns:
  a hashcode.

#### resourceCompare

    protected int resourceCompare(Resource foo,
                                  Resource bar)

Compare two Resources.

Specified by:
  `resourceCompare` in class `ResourceComparator`
Parameters:
  `foo` - the first Resource.
  `bar` - the second Resource.
Returns:
  a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

#### dieOnCircularReference

    protected void dieOnCircularReference(java.util.Stack<java.lang.Object> stk,
                                          Project p)
                                   throws BuildException

Overrides the version from DataType to recurse on nested ResourceSelector s.

Overrides:
  `dieOnCircularReference` in class `DataType`
Parameters:
  `stk` - the Stack of references.
  `p` - the Project to resolve against.
Throws:
  `BuildException` - on error.
