Method Detail

compare

public int compare(java.lang.Object poResult1,
                   java.lang.Object poResult2)

Implementation of the Comparator interface for the Result objects. To decide on inequality of the Results objects we compare their outcome (distance or probability) value only. Takes into consideration ASCENDING or DESCENDING order of sorting.

Parameters:

poResult1 - first Result object for comparison

poResult2 - second Result object for comparison

Returns:

0 if the objects are equal, 1 if the 2nd is greater then the 1st under ASCENDING, or the 1st is greater then the 2nd under DESCENDING. Otherwise, -2 is returned.

getRevision

public static java.lang.String getRevision()

Returns source code revision information.
