  42:  * Thrown to indicate an object should not or could not be cloned. This
  43:  * includes the case when {@link Object#clone()} is called on an object
  44:  * which does not implement the {@link Cloneable} interface. For example:<br>
  45:  * <pre>
  46:  * void m() throws CloneNotSupportedException
  47:  * {
  48:  *   clone();
  49:  * }
  50:  * </pre>
  51:  *
  52:  * <p>Notice that calling <code>clone()</code> on an array will never produce
  53:  * this exception, as the VM will always succeed in copying the array, or
  54:  * cause an OutOfMemoryError first. For example:<br>
  55:  * <pre>
  56:  * void m(int[] array)
  57:  * {
  58:  *   int[] copy = (int[]) array.clone();
  59:  * }
