* A class implements the {@code Cloneable} interface to
|
|
* indicate to the {@link java.lang.Object#clone()} method that it
|
|
* 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} interface results in the exception
|
|
* {@code CloneNotSupportedException} being thrown.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* By convention, classes that implement this interface should override
|
|
* {@code Object.clone} (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 {@code clone} 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.
