With RMI/Serialization hat on; If you have no strong need to keep the serialVersionUID compatible with an existing, released version of the class, you can simply put in; static long serialVersionUID = 1L; into the classes, and only change IF (and that should be avoided) serialization compatibility can not be maintained. I.e serialtool is not needed if you start out from scratch. Hat-off.
