CommonBorderPaddingBackground

[richardw]

Is there any good reason why CommonBorderPaddingBackground
and BorderInfo are Cloneable yet don't implement a clone()
method? Am I missing something or is this just to confuse
any poor maintainers who happen to come along?

Regards,

Richard

Wait, let me see... Nope, none at all, it seems. If my method is  
correct, that is...
I tried adding an override that simply calls Object.clone(), checked  
the call hierarchy in Eclipse and CommonBorderPaddingBackground.clone 
() is definitely never called.

Yes, that's us! 8-) It's a bit like the old mystics, or: how to  
create the illusion of profundity |-D


So, you'd like to join us, ay...?


Cheers,

They were cloned in the more ancient parts of the code based, but
this seemed to have been removed already some time ago. Thanks
for bringing this inconsistency to light.
