Make a cloneable object

Thread view:

I have a problem: how to use the clone() method to create a deep copy of a
JFrame object.
I need to "duplicate" a JFrame containing a TextField and then to add other
objects but only to the new window without adding them to the "original"
one.
Unfortunately JFrame doesn't support cloneability..

Thank you in advance Luca Parodi

Hello,

I would suggest to create a new class that extends JFrame and implement
Cloneable, override clone() as you want (maybe using Object.clone() or by
creating a new JFrame and doing things by your self). Then use your new
class instead of JFrame.
