The Cloneable Interface

• Object.clone is nervous about cloning
• Will only clone objects that implement Cloneable interface
  

  public interface Cloneable
  {
  }
  

• Interface has no methods!
• Tagging interface--used in test
  if x implements Cloneable
• Object.clone throws CloneNotSupportedException
• A checked exception
