They seem to, maybe not everywhere at this time, but from
java.util.Vector:
Serialized Form - Fields
capacityIncrement
int capacityIncrement
The amount by which the capacity of the vector is automatically
incremented when its size becomes greater than its capacity. If
the capacity increment is 0, the capacity of the vector is
doubled each time it needs to grow.
int elementCount
The number of valid components in this Vector object. Components
elementData[0] through elementData[elementCount-1] are the
actual items.
_________________________________________________________________
elementData
Object[] elementData
The array buffer into which the components of the vector are stored.
The capacity of the vector is the length of this array buffer,
and is at least large enough to contain all the vector's
elements.
Any array elements following the last element in the Vector are
null.
