This class implements a clone()
method but does not implement the Cloneable
interface.
It appears that the programmer intended for this class to implement the Cloneable
interface because it implements a method named clone()
. However, the class does not implement the Cloneable
interface and the clone()
method will not behave correctly.
Example 1: Calling clone()
for this class will result in a CloneNotSupportedException.
public class Kibitzer {
public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
...
}
}
