We look forward to a patch. :) -----Original Message----- From: Zakharov, Vasily M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu Feb 02 15:15:17 2006 To: [email protected] Subject: FYI: 100+ files do not fully comply with serialVersionUID spec
Hello, all, There're some classes in API library that are Serializable and have serialVersionUIDs, but those serialVersionUIDs are not marked private as recommended by Serialization Specification. The full proper signature for serialVersionUID is 'private static final long', unless the API specification for the particular class specifies otherwise. The files affected are in directories java/io, java/lang, java/math, java/nio, java/nio/channels, java/nio/charset, java/security, java/text, java/util/regex, java/util/zip. Looks like the next step is either simply fix the files now or file a 100+ file bug reports. :) I think the former is preferable. With best regards, Vasily Zakharov Intel Middleware Products Division
