Bjorn Townsend commented on LANG-354:
-------------------------------------
I agree with Ben. It's a cool concept, but there are some fatal limitations
that limit its usefulness. Don't think we can document said limitations
concisely enough to make the method useable.

> As discussed on the Mailing List an implementation of a CloneBuilder class to
> simplify creating basic clone methods like the other builders in Lang.
> Example usage would be as follows:
> public Object clone() {
> return CloneBuilder.reflectionClone(this);
> }
> or
> public Object clone() {
> return new CloneBuilder(this)
> .append("field1") // note the 'field by name' usage
> .append("field2") // rather than 'field by value'
> ...
> .append("fieldn")
> .toClone();
> }
