How to make a deep copy of Java ArrayList

trying to make a copy of an ArrayList. The underlying object is simple containing on Strings, ints, BigDecimals, Dates and DateTime object. How can I ensure that the modifications made to new ArrayList are not reflected in the old ArrayList?

Person morts = new Person("whateva");
			
List<Person> oldList = new ArrayList<Person>();
oldList.add(morts);
oldList.get(0).setName("Mortimer");

List<Person> newList = new ArrayList<Person>();
newList.addAll(oldList);

newList.get(0).setName("Rupert");

System.out.println("oldName : " + oldList.get(0).getName());
System.out.println("newName : " + newList.get(0).getName());

Cheers, P

Cloning the objects before adding them. For example, instead of newList.addAll(oldList);

for(Person p : oldList) {
    newList.add(p.clone());
}

Assuming clone is correctly overriden inPerson.

public class Person{

    String s;
    Date d;
    ...

    public Person clone(){
        Person p = new Person();
        p.s = this.s.clone();
        p.d = this.d.clone();
        ...
        return p;
    }
}

In your executing code:

ArrayList<Person> clone = new ArrayList<Person>();
for(Person p : originalList)
    clone.add(p.clone());
