Nearly all classes lack the capability of copying. There are two options:

  1. Use copy constructors.
    • Advantage: Type-safe, no castings needed
  2. clone():
    • Advantages: Java conform, works together with other components. Especially every Object has a clone-function.
    • (big) Disadvantage: Annoying implementation, involves many casts and a try-catch. Not really efficient.
