Use Reflection (might have bugs)

private static Object cloneObject(Object obj){ try{ Object clone = obj.getClass().newInstance(); for (Field field : obj.getClass().getDeclaredFields()) { field.setAccessible(true); if(field.get(obj) == null || Modifier.isFinal(field.getModifiers())){ continue; } if(field.getType().isPrimitive() || field.getType().equals(String.class) || field.getType().getSuperclass().equals(Number.class) || field.getType().equals(Boolean.class)){ field.set(clone, field.get(obj)); }else{ Object childObj = field.get(obj); if(childObj == obj){ field.set(clone, clone); }else{ field.set(clone, cloneObject(field.get(obj))); } } } return clone; }catch(Exception e){ return null; } }
