/**
 * The identity class is used to manage objects in a much better way. The class offers the possibility to representing
 * an object by a name. It's also possible to group more the one object in the same set of instances that belongs
 * together.
 * <p>
 * Each object has an identifier which represents in a (pseudo) unique manner. But it's no guaranteed at all. For
 * generating a new identifier a hash code consisting of name and group name is calculated and multiplied with a random
 * number. Therefore the result of <tt>new Identity("name","group").equals(new Identity("name","group"))</tt>
 * returns always false.
 * <p>
 * To create an new instance of the identity class use the generate() function:
 * <tt>Identity identity = Identity.generate(...);</tt>
