  - ### setBinary

    public void setBinary​(boolean b)
    Set binary mode for this Content ResourceComparator. If this attribute is set to false, Resource content will be compared ignoring platform line-ending conventions. Default is `true`.
    Parameters:
      `b` - whether to compare content in binary mode.

  - ### isBinary

    public boolean isBinary()
    Learn whether this Content ResourceComparator is operating in binary mode.
    Returns:
      boolean binary flag.

  - ### resourceCompare

    protected int resourceCompare​(Resource foo, Resource bar)
    Compare two Resources by content.
    Specified by:
      `resourceCompare` in class `ResourceComparator`
    Parameters:
      `foo` - the first Resource.
      `bar` - the second Resource.
    Returns:
      a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
    Throws:
      `BuildException` - if I/O errors occur.
