I need a copy of a String that contains the same data as the original. 
I need to keep the reference to the original String.  The copy's 
reference I'm going to use to get a modified String by applying methods 
of the String class.  If I just create a new String with the 
String(String str) constructor, FindBugs complains.  Is there another 
way to get a copy?

Thanks,
