How to properly override clone method?

Question

I need to implement a deep clone in one of my objects which has no superclass.

What is the best way to handle the checked CloneNotSupportedException thr

Answer 1

Sometimes it's more simple to implement a copy constructor:

public MyObject (MyObject toClone) {
}

It saves you the trouble of handling CloneNotSupportedException, works with final fields and you don't have to worry about the type to return.
