How to clone JRDesignXXX objects

All else fails, I guess I can use something like the following since it is Serializable

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class CloneSerialized {
public final static <T extends Serializable> T cloneObject(T o) throws Exception
{
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);

oos.writeObject(o);
oos.close();

ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray());
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bis);

T ret = (T)ois.readObject();

return ret;
}
}
