Hello,
Various interfaces in the JDK extend Serializable and declare
serialVersionUID fields. Such fields are ineffectual and
@SuppressWarnings("serial") should be applied to such fields to
suppress future planned serial lint checks (JDK-8202056).
Most of the affected files are in the security-libs area with a
handful in RMI and JNDI:

Patch below. I'll fix-up the copyright years before any push.
Is there a follow-on patch coming to deprecate these fields?
Filed 8209304: Deprecate serialVersionUID fields in interfaces; webrev
for review:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8209304.0/
Security libs team, for
src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/internal/interfaces/TlsMasterSecret.java
I added a separate @Deprecated annotation for the serialVersionUID field
even though the interface itself is already deprecated. That interface's
javadoc states:
41 * @deprecated Sun JDK internal use only --- WILL BE REMOVED in a
future
42 * release.
If you like, as part of this changeset I can upgrade (downgrade?) the
@Deprecated annotation for this class to forRemoval=true.
Once that detail is sorted out, I'll create the corresponding CSR.
(Since the java.lang.Deprecated annotation type is @Documented, adding,
removing, or changing @Deprecated annotations is an interface change.)
Thanks,
-Joe
