Keith,
I did modify the source generator to produce deep clone() method as you
pointed out. However in the process I realized that when handling
ArrayLists there is no easy way to call clone() on the elements inside.
What I get is Object. Casting it to Clonable does not help because
Cloneable does not unprotect it. this means I have to use reflection to
get clone() method, try to call it and catch IllegalAccessException (in
which I'll do a set(value) instead of calling a clone with assumtpiton
that it is an immutable object like String). I think this is overly
complex and expensive (reflection, exception handling) so I might as
well just serialize and de-serialize the object in some stream to get a
cloned copy.
what do you think?
