This method should be used by any Element.equals() implementation to ensure consistent behavior.
(Defined by ElementHelpers.) |
| CopyProperties |
Copy the properties (key and value) from one element to another.
The properties are preserved on the from element.
ElementPropertiesRule that share the same key on the to element are overwritten.

In other words, a HashMap is created and filled with the key/values of the element's properties.
