public interface Cloneable

A class implements the `Cloneable` interface to indicate to the `Object.clone()` method that it is legal for that method to make a field-for-field copy of instances of that class.

Attempts to clone instances that do not implement the `Cloneable` interface result in the exception `CloneNotSupportedException` being thrown.

The interface `Cloneable` declares no methods.

Since:
  JDK1.0
