Please keep adverts for your book out of the article unless you're using it as a direct reference. 142.232.8.200 (talk) 04:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it a bit funny to first delete a reference ("shameless advert") and then to set a "citation needed" tag? ;-)

I do not know the "crappy book", but any references reviewing the "clone or copy constructor" debate should be welcome. I have added a link to Java Practices, but truly there are other sources.--Gerd-HH (talk) 08:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other Languages and Frameworks

Clone() appears in other languages too, like the CLS languages (C#, VB.NET, IronPython, etc under System.IClonable). Don't they get a mention? W3bbo (talk) 19:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

clone is obsolete?

I am removing the obsolete statement, and the reference to some Java site (which has incorrect statements, e.g. about having to implement clone in deriving classes). Faustus (talk) 15:29, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
