AbstractCloneableSerializableObject class and 
 removes the exception that it throws. Its default behavior is to 
 automatically create a clone of the exact type of object that the
 clone is called on and to copy all primitives but to keep all references, 
 which means it is a shallow copy.
 
 Extensions of this class may want to override this method (but call
 super.clone() to implement a "smart copy". That is, to target
 the most common use case for creating a copy of the object. Because of
 the default behavior being a shallow copy, extending classes only need 
 to handle fields that need to have a deeper copy (or those that need to
 be reset). Some of the methods in ObjectUtil may be helpful in
 implementing a custom clone method.
 
 Note: The contract of this method is that you must use
 super.clone() as the basis for your implementation.clone in interface Vectorizableclone in interface CloneableSerializableclone in class AbstractCloneableSerializablepublic Vector convertToVector()
