3311 Fun with cloning

You seems be using plain JDK 1.4 (that was ok for 1.4 compatible open
api before 3311), try using 1.4 + generics or 1.5

com.intellij.j2ee.run.configuration.ServerModel implements Cloneable, and has the method:

com.intellij.j2ee.run.configuration.ServerModel clone() throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException;


This is illegal, and doesn't compile. You should return Object. I'm baffled by how you managed to produce such code and have it compile!

Maxim,

Can you give me some help here? I can't build the JBoss plugin anymore
due to this clone method.

1) I don't want to use 1.5, since there are mac users using the plugin;
2) I didn't manage to get 1.4 + generics working.

Any hints?

1.5 language supports covariant return types :)

Reverted to return Object in 3316 though to support 1.4 plugins development.
