-     * a <tt>CloneNotSupportedException</tt> is thrown. Note that all arrays are considered to
-     * implement the interface <tt>Cloneable</tt>. Otherwise, this method creates a new instance of
-     * the class of this object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of the
-     * corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the contents of the fields are not
-     * themselves cloned. Thus, this method performs a "shallow copy" of this object, not a
-     * "deep copy" operation.
-     * <p>
-     * The class <tt>Object</tt> does not itself implement the interface <tt>Cloneable</tt>, so
