Different ways of creating objects in Java

gistfile1.txt

package objectCreation;

public class TestObject implements Cloneable {
	private String name = "DefaultTestName";

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	// By convention, classes that implement this interface should override
	// Object.clone (which is protected) with a public method
	// Refer : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Cloneable.html
	@Override
	public Object clone() {
		try {
			return super.clone();
		} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
			throw new Error("Something impossible just happened");
		}
	}
}

package objectCreation;

public class ObjectCreation {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
		//1. Create object using new
		TestObject object1 = new TestObject();
		System.out.println("Creating testObject instance using new keyword.  name => "+ object1.getName());
		
		//2. Using  class.forName
		TestObject object2 = (TestObject)Class.forName("objectCreation.TestObject").newInstance();
		System.out.println("Object creatin using class.forName(). name => "+ object2.getName());
		
		
		//3.Using Clone
		TestObject object3 = (TestObject) object2.clone();
		System.out.println("Created clone object. name => "+object3.getName());
		
		//4. Using serialization. We will discuss later in detail
