    <p>I have this code:</p> <pre><code>package org.optimization.geneticAlgorithm; import org.optimization.geneticAlgorithm.selection.Pair; public abstract class Chromosome implements Comparable&lt;Chromosome&gt; { public abstract double fitness(); public abstract Pair&lt;Chromosome&gt; crossover(Chromosome parent); public abstract void mutation(); public int compareTo(Chromosome o) { int rv = 0; if (this.fitness() &gt; o.fitness()) { rv = -1; } else if (this.fitness() &lt; o.fitness()) { rv = 1; } return rv; } } </code></pre> <p>And every time I run this code I get this error:</p> <pre><code>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract! at java.util.ComparableTimSort.mergeHi(ComparableTimSort.java:835) at java.util.ComparableTimSort.mergeAt(ComparableTimSort.java:453) at java.util.ComparableTimSort.mergeCollapse(ComparableTimSort.java:376) at java.util.ComparableTimSort.sort(ComparableTimSort.java:182) at java.util.ComparableTimSort.sort(ComparableTimSort.java:146) at java.util.Arrays.sort(Arrays.java:472) at java.util.Collections.sort(Collections.java:155) at org.optimization.geneticAlgorithm.GeneticAlgorithm.nextGeneration(GeneticAlgorithm.java:74) at org.optimization.geneticAlgorithm.GeneticAlgorithm.execute(GeneticAlgorithm.java:40) at test.newData.InferenceModel.main(InferenceModel.java:134) </code></pre> <p>I use OpenJDK7u3 and I return 0 when the objects are equal. Can someone explain this error to me?</p>

    1. COIs your `fitness()` method always returning the same value no matter how many times it is called on the same object? Can you share implementations with us?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
