title: How to copy properties from one Java bean to another?
body: <p>I have a simple Java POJO that I would copy properties to another instance of same POJO class.</p>
  
  <p>I know I can do that with BeanUtils.copyProperties() but I would like to avoid use of a third-party library.</p>
  
  <p>So, how to do that simply, the proper and safer way ?</p>
  
  <p>By the way, I'm using Java 6.</p>
