---------------------------------------------------------------

As far as I understand it means that if someone has serialized a 
EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource40 using a 10.7 or older Derby (notwithstanding 
soft/hard upgrade mode at the time), and then later try to read that serialized 
data source using a Derby 10.8 or newer, notwithstanding soft/hard upgrade 
mode), the read would fail. The only remedy would be to use a 10.7 or older 
Derby to read it, but if the user had hard upgraded already it could be a bit 
of a catch-22..

I presume we could put manual reading logic in place to recognize the old 
versioned data source for this particular class and allow reading of the older 
version, and back-port such a patch to Derby 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10), perhaps we 
should file a JIRA issue for that?

I'll put together a release note for now.

> The discussion on DERBY-6124 has raised the possibility that we may need to 
> add serialVersionUIDs to some serializable Derby classes. Without the 
> serialVersionUIDs, Derby may encounter deserialization errors on objects 
> which were serialized by one version of Derby or the JVM and then 
> deserialized by another version of Derby or the JVM.
