I have build(make clean, make all, make images) the jdk-repo only. Or
does i have to pull in the changes of my jdk8/tl/jdk clone to my

Has someone in the past evaluated if there is a good way to do
regression tests for serialVersionUID in jdk-sources?
To see the issue then you'll need a build of jdk8/tl rather than
jdk8/jdk8 as the changes haven't been integrated into the master yet. We
really need to get to the point where the entire JDK is built with
-Xlint:serial -Werror as it's too easy to inadvertently change the SUID.
Aside from a few specified tests, the tests in the jdk repository don't
test serialization compatibility.
