public abstract class Prototype
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

Prototype defines a class whose objects may be cloned, such that an instance may be passed to a Factory class and cloned to produce new instances. The idea is that such a Factory class need have no knowledge of the details of the class whose objects it is instantiating. Refer to: "Design Patterns", Gamma, Helm, Jounson and Vlissides, Addison Wesley, 1995
