Joerg Schaible commented on LANG-307:
-------------------------------------
You forget that cloning in this way is actually dangerous if you have objects
in your graph that manage system resources like File or Socket or - even worse
- have a pointer to native memory like BuferedImage. Clonging the last one in
this way will corrupt your JVM. Maybe it is better to use a more (and very
fast) specialized library instead: http://robust-it.co.uk/clone/
> CloneUtils - utility class to enable cloning via various different mechanisms
