1.31 +/**
1.32 + * A class implements the <code>Cloneable</code> interface to
1.33 + * indicate to the {@link java.lang.Object#clone()} method that it
1.34 + * is legal for that method to make a
1.35 + * field-for-field copy of instances of that class.
1.36 + * <p>
1.37 + * Invoking Object's clone method on an instance that does not implement the
1.38 + * <code>Cloneable</code> interface results in the exception
1.39 + * <code>CloneNotSupportedException</code> being thrown.
1.40 + * <p>
1.41 + * By convention, classes that implement this interface should override
1.42 + * <tt>Object.clone</tt> (which is protected) with a public method.
1.43 + * See {@link java.lang.Object#clone()} for details on overriding this
1.44 + * method.
1.45 + * <p>
1.46 + * Note that this interface does <i>not</i> contain the <tt>clone</tt> method.
1.47 + * Therefore, it is not possible to clone an object merely by virtue of the
1.48 + * fact that it implements this interface. Even if the clone method is invoked
1.49 + * reflectively, there is no guarantee that it will succeed.
