Annotation Type Clone

@Attribute
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Clone

Clone is an attribute that can be applied to property declarations to change how the property's values are cloned when a Component or Entity are created from a template Component or Entity. At the moment it can be used to:

1. Copy values using Java's assignment semantics
2. Clone objects using their clone() method if it exists
3. Do not copy the value, and use the default value the factory normally would have assigned

If these options are not sufficient, a custom PropertyFactory can be implemented and specified by using the Factory annotation.
