Java 5, how to clone an ArrayList

[Gary Newell]

I need to make a shallow copy of an ArrayList. Java 5 doesn't like my 1.4
coding method:

newItem.list = (ArrayList)oldItem.list.clone();

How do I perform a shallow copy of an ArrayList in Java 5?

Thanks!

And, "list" in newItem is defined as:

Public ArrayList<String> list;

At class initialization, it is set to null.
