Hi All,
   I currently have a database 'explorer' application - show lists of
tables; ddl etc etc

   I'd now like to be able to 'clone' a snapshot view into another
frame....

frame 1
   has a jpanel_X  + scroll pane + jtable with data etc

new frame 2

   has a jpanel_Y - which I'd like to reflect the exact same contents as
frame 1

I've tried

     panel_Y = panel_X.clone();

   but get
               Error(35,26): method clone() has protected access in class
java.lang.Object

   I've added the Cloneable interface to jpanel_X - but I still get the
error message....

TIA

Bill
