Specified by:

supports in interface GlobalMergeBehavior<Object,Object,Object>

Parameters:

merge - RecursiveMerge algorithm

type - expected resulting object Class type

base - base object, should never be null

merged - object to merge, should never be null

Returns:

true if this behavior supports specified objects merge, false otherwise
