041/**
042 * Thrown to indicate an object should not or could not be cloned. This
043 * includes the case when {@link Object#clone()} is called on an object
044 * which does not implement the {@link Cloneable} interface. For example:<br>
045 * <pre>
046 * void m() throws CloneNotSupportedException
047 * {
048 *   clone();
049 * }
050 * </pre>
051 *
052 * <p>Notice that calling <code>clone()</code> on an array will never produce
053 * this exception, as the VM will always succeed in copying the array, or
054 * cause an OutOfMemoryError first. For example:<br>
055 * <pre>
056 * void m(int[] array)
057 * {
058 *   int[] copy = (int[]) array.clone();
059 * }
060 * </pre>
