Re: How to get a clone of the super class?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Is there a way you can be more
specific with your actual example? This one is pretty hypothetical.

Here's my hypothetical thought:

package test;

public class CloneTest implements Cloneable {

     public static void main( String[] args )
     {
         CloneChild b = new CloneChild();
         CloneTest a = b.clone();
         System.out.println( a );
     }

     @Override
     public final CloneTest clone() {
         try
         {
             return (CloneTest) super.clone();
         }catch( CloneNotSupportedException ex )
         {
             // Cannot get here
             throw new AssertionError( ex );
         }
     }
}

class CloneChild extends CloneTest {

}
