Reverse engineering of this nature is not allowed.  Serialization of
classes is to be written according to the javadocs.  If the javadocs
are incomplete, file a bug report with Sun.

We had this discussion a long time ago.  If we do find a case where we
need to reverse engineer a serialized object, someone who has never
downloaded the JDK needs to do that.

This is per the advise of the FSF.
