Class Cloner

java.lang.Object
  av.util.Cloner

public abstract class Cloner
extends Object

As Object.clone() is defined protected, this class provides a public way to clone a various type of object.

But be aware that normally a class designed to support Cloneable will has its own public method to make clones of itself, may or may not named "clone", it even might does its own extra clone operations in this method. While this class only perform the clone operation at the Object level, which means it only copies fields of the target object. So here this class is by no means encouraging you do such dirty clone tricks, be aware of what you are doing before using this class and use it entirely at your own risk.
