EVALUATION
This seems not to be a specific subcategory, but all of the JDK.

This bug is for the specific class java.awt.DisplayMode. As stated in the
evaluation for bug 4634068, all other problems detected in the jdk have been
broken down into bugs for individual areas. If you do not own
java.awt.DisplayMode, please pass this bug along to the group that does.
Thanks,

Simple solution: just add equals(Object) to DisplayMode. If the object
is instanceof DisplayMode, call the existing equals(DisplayMode) method,
otherwise return false.
Note that there is also a bug in the current equals() method that should
be fixed: we do not correctly check for a null parameter to equals(DisplayMode) and will throw a NullPointerException if the argument is null (see bug 4529353 for more information on this). We should fix this at the same time as we are
fixing the API issue.
note also that we do not need to do anything about hashcode() since that
method already exists (and does the right thing) in DisplayMode

The infinite recursion bug mentioned in the JDC comments has been filed as a new bug (4977139), which has been fixed and will hopefully be in the 1.5 Beta2 release.
