Implement equals(), hashCode() and toString() on the JAXB classes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Use the JAXB plugin to generate these methods so that we can put the JAXB
results into Collections and expect them to behave correctly.

Based on group email:

Hi,

 Thanks for the great work on the API.
I'm using the JAXB client, and I am admittedly new to using JAXB.
I used a free plugin in Intellij to: "Generate files from your XSD
schemas with JAXB 2.0 XJC generator"
Quite handy.
I was writing integration tests such as:
Create a new album on FB with certain properties set.
Get all albums for that user from FB
Assert that the list of all actual albums contains the expectedAlbum
that I just created.

I ran into a snag because equals and hashCode were not overriden in
the JAXB generated classes. (same w/ the ones in the lib JAR.)

So, I made a quick fix by dropping this into my generated
com.google.code.facebookapi.schema.Album class.

import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.EqualsBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.HashCodeBuilder;

       public boolean equals(final Object obj) {
               return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj);
   }

       public int hashCode() {
               return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this);
       }

---
I did a little research and found these projects for automatically
overriding equals(), hashCode() and toString() in JAXB generated
classes.

Does this look like a worthwhile addition to the FB API release jar?

Thanks,

Ed
