    True, but that applies for the other cloning events too (at least
    the ones initiated by Planner).<br>
    In the 6.0 docs, the term "clone" has been replace by the term
    "planning clone",<br>
    and it's expectations have been explained.<br>
    See 4.3.5.6. Cloning a Solution.<br>

        It might be "not optimal" design that drives me to initializing
        stuff upon cloning, but anyway I think there might be more
        scenarios where it is useful to know if the solution object is
        the working solution or a best solution.<br>
        Right?<br>

                    <br>
                    I think a planning solution gets cloned in two
                    different scenarios:<br>
                    1) a better solution is found<br>
                    2) the solver propagates from one solving phase to
                    another.<br>
                    <br>
                    Is this right?<br>
                  </div>
                </blockquote>
                Currently this is right IIRC. But mix in multi-threading
                for 6.1 or 6.2 and there will be more cases of cloning.<br>
                <blockquote type="cite">
                  <div
                    style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:arial,
                    helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><br>
                    If so, how do I know (inside the cloneSolution()
                    method) if the clone is intended for a best-solution
                    or a new working-solution?<br>
                  </div>
                </blockquote>
                Why would you need to know that? Would it alter your
                cloning behavior somehow?<br>
                <br>
                It's probably hackable through BestSolutionRecaller, but
                it will give you a hard time when upgrading to 6.0 if
                you do hack it there.<br>
