| OK,
The first round of updates is checked in for the serialVersionUID.
here is an old but useful brief write up on how to deal with serialized objects and their versions.
Since we are removing the compiler/runtime from dealing with the serialVersionUID we will have to update the seriaVersionUID when we change the class in an incompatible way.
I'll be committing the rest shortly.

This would make a difference in development. If the UID is the same then you won't get the incompatible message on de-serialization.
Wow an actual use case :-)

Does it help anything having this UID in there with this usecase? I mean the compiler would still not be able to do anything about instantiating the correct class, cause it is not on the classpath anymore, right?
I don't have anything against adding the UID.

yeah I guess 'poor form' is a bit over stated.
I honestly can't think of a situation where it would actually be
important to have it (user requests a page, the admin upgrades to a
new version of myfaces, the user clicks a button and the serialized
page state now has a binary incompatibility seems very far
fetched :-) but I'm tired of the warning messages from Eclipse
(similar to the 'unused import' warning) so I'll fix it as I go along.
Have a great weekend.
