Title

I have an ArrayList l1 of size 10. I assign l1 to new list reference type l2 . Will l1 and l2 point to same ArrayList object? Or is a copy of the ArrayList object assigned to l2 ? When using the l2 reference, if I update the list object, it reflects the changes in the l1 reference type also. For example: List<Integer> l1 = new ArrayList<Integer>(); for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { l1.add(i); } List l2 = l1; l2.clear(); Is there no other way to assign a copy of a list object to a new reference variable, apart from creating 2 list objects, and doing copy on collections from old to new?
