Java environments (e.g. Java 6, Android 2.3, App Engine, or All)?

All

Please describe the feature requested.

For example:

    Event event = new Event().clone();

fails to compile with the error message "Type mismatch: cannot convert from 
GenericJson to Event".  But if you cast it to Event it compiles and runs 
without any problem:

    Event event = (Event) new Event().clone();

We should just generate the clone() method in the Event class (and every other 
model class) as follows:

  @Override
  public Event clone() {
    return (Event) super.clone();
  }
