| * is legal for that method to make a |
| * field-for-field copy of instances of that class. |
| * <p> |
| * Invoking Object's clone method on an instance that does not implement the |
| * <code>Cloneable</code> interface results in the exception |
| * <code>CloneNotSupportedException</code> being thrown. |
| * <p> |
| * By convention, classes that implement this interface should override |
| * <tt>Object.clone</tt> (which is protected) with a public method. |
| * See {@link java.lang.Object#clone()} for details on overriding this |
| * method. |
| * <p> |
| * Note that this interface does <i>not</i> contain the <tt>clone</tt> method. |
| * Therefore, it is not possible to clone an object merely by virtue of the |
| * fact that it implements this interface. Even if the clone method is invoked |
| * reflectively, there is no guarantee that it will succeed. |
