I need to create a Set of objects. The concern is I do not want to base the hashing or the equality on the objects' hashCode and equals implementation. Instead, I want the hash code and equality to be based only on each object's reference identity (i.e.: the value of the reference pointer).
I'm not sure how to do this in Java.
The reasoning behind this is my objects do not reliably implement equals or hashCode, and in this case reference identity is good enough.
