/**

* A class implements the <code>Cloneable</code> 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</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.

*

* @author unascribed

* @see java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

* @see java.lang.Object#clone()

* @since JDK1.0
