克隆对象或使用相同的值创建新对象

Question

我已经阅读过有关克隆对象的文档，我的结论是克隆对象是不好的做法。

使用与另一个值相同的值创建新对象的最佳方法之一是什么？

示例：

    class Student {

    private String name;
    private int age;


    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }
    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }
    public void setAge(int age){
        this.age = age;
    }
}

public class AnotherClass{

Student guy = new Student();
guy.setName("Mike");
guy.setAge(20);

Student guy2 = makeClone(guy); //now i get a new guy with the same values of the first guy


private Student makeClone(Student oldStudent){

    Student newStudent = new Student();
    newStudent.setName(oldStudent.getName());
    newStudent.setAge(oldStudent.getAge());

    return newStudent;

  }

}
