https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=221880

Bug summary:

Since there are maps in SDO code that are keyed on SDOPropery, it is required that this class has a hashCode and equals method to avoid potential issues. For example, a DataObject could have a list of 'name' properties. When setting one of these properties, we would check the appropriate list to see if there is already an entry for 'name', and if so, add the new 'name' property to the existing list. Because the hashCode/equals methods don't exist, we will never find another 'name' property, and hence create a new list (of size one) for each 'name'. The desired behavior is a single list of 'name' properties.
