After reading your explanation, I agree. >Note that the serialVersionUID field should be a private variable (Sun's serialver >neglects this fact, making it seem like package-private is acceptable), >so that it is not inherited by other subclasses in the same package. > Actually this shouldn't matter, since the serialization code looks up serialVersionUID using getDeclaredField(), which will not return fields declared in superclasses. regards Bryce. _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
