| * 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. | |
