Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static <T> AllOfPredicate<T>`	`allOf(EPredicate<T>... predicates)` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` for any value that would pass all of the given `EPredicate` instances.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`any()` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` for all input.
`static <T> AnyOfPredicate<T>`	`anyOf(T... objects)` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` only for objects whose `Object.equals(Object)` method returns true for any of the the given arguments.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`is(T object)` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` only for objects whose `Object.equals(Object)` method returns true for the given argument.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`isNull()` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` only for null.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`none()` The returned predicate will return false for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` for all input.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`noneOf(T... objects)` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` for any objects whose `Object.equals(Object)` method does not return true for any of the the given arguments.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`not(EPredicate<T> predicate)` The returned predicate will return the opposite of the given `EPredicate`.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`not(T value)` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` for any objects whose `Object.equals(Object)` method returns false for the given argument.
`static <T> EPredicate<T>`	`notNull()` The returned predicate will return true for `EPredicate.pass(Object)` for any non-null object.
`static <T> PredicateBuilder<T>`	`on(Class<T> type)` Creates a `PredicateBuilder` for the specified type.
