[BUG] Java 15: DecimalFormatSymbols overrides equals but not hashCode

[Brian Burkhalter]

Hello,

The override of hashCode() looks like it is still there in JDK 15 [1]. I don’t know however why it does not appear as such in the javadoc [2].

That means it now violates the contract for equals + hashCode: two equal DecimalFormatSymbols instances can have different hash codes.
