Question

What is a better way of implementing ColorPoint to avoid problems with equals() method?

public class Point {
    private final int x;
    private final int y;

    @Override public boolean equals(Object o) {
	if (!(o instanceof Point))
	    return false;
	Point p = (Point)o;
	return p.x == x && p.y == y;
    }
    // Remainder omitted
}

public class ColorPoint extends Point {
    private final Color color;

    // Remainder omitted
}

Answer

Use composition, not inheritance:

public class ColorPoint {
    private final Point point;
    private final Color color;

    // Remainder omitted
}
