### Enum Constant Detail

#### CLONE

    public static final AutoCloneStyle CLONE

Uses only cloning.

#### COPY_CONSTRUCTOR

    public static final AutoCloneStyle COPY_CONSTRUCTOR

Uses the copy constructor pattern.

#### SERIALIZATION

    public static final AutoCloneStyle SERIALIZATION

Uses serialization to clone.

### Method Detail

#### values

    public static AutoCloneStyle[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

    for (AutoCloneStyle c : AutoCloneStyle.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:
  an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

#### valueOf

    public static AutoCloneStyle valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
  the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
  `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
  `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
