Cloning with generics

Question

Once upon a time there was a class:

public class Scope> implements Comparable>, Clon         


        

Answer 1

Hopefully I've resolved the problem of generic cloning in Java:

public class Generic {
  private T data;

  public Generic() {
    // ...
  }

  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  @Override
  public Object clone() {
    Generic cloned = new Generic();
    try {
      cloned.data = (T) data.getClass().getMethod("clone").invoke(data);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      // ...
    }
    return cloned;
  }
}
