    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.
    1.50 + *
