> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Assigned To: Adam Lally
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1

>
> Findbugs found this problem, and says: clone method does not call
> super.clone()
> This non-final class defines a clone() method that does not call
> super.clone(). If this class ("A") is extended by a subclass ("B"), and the
> subclass B calls super.clone(), then it is likely that B's clone() method
> will return an object of type A, which violates the standard contract for
> clone().
> If all clone() methods call super.clone(), then they are guaranteed to use
> Object.clone(), which always returns an object of the correct type.
> Solution could be to mark this class "final" if we don't want users to extend
> it.
