Description Jan Stola 2006-02-16 10:58:30 UTC 
CloneNotSupportedException is thrown when non-Serializable value
of some property is replicated from the model to the view.
We should improved implementation of cloning:

* try to perform field-to-field copy or invoke clone() method
  on objects that implements Cloneable interface
* return the same instance if we are not able to clone the object
  instead of throwing CloneNotSupportedException
Comment 1 Jan Stola 2006-02-16 11:19:54 UTC 
Some classes claim to be Serializable, but throw NotSerializableException
while being serialized. This is a clear violation of their contract,
but we should handle these situations better. There's even
a lot of Swing classes that have this problem - they are serializable,
but hold a collection of non-serializable listeners.
Comment 2 Jan Stola 2007-07-16 16:47:26 UTC 
This is more an enhancement than a defect. Moreover, this problem wasn't reported by our users recently.
