Sun has posted release candidate 2 of JDK 1.2 to their developer connection. The notes from this release indicate the serialized form page is not final yet. I don't think the page answers all the questions about serialized form of some protected classes in java.util yet. I do note the serialized form of some private fields is on the serialized form page near the bottom.
