I think Richard means *not* serializable.

Yes, sorry for my dreaded tendency to drop the "not"...

While this will technically make the object serializable, deserializing will produce a meaningless object since it will not have any bundle objects. I think this is wrong. It is better that the object fails to serialize so people realize fast that the object cannot be properly serialized.

The issue is that BundleEvent is a concrete class that has two references to Bundle objects, which themselves are serializable. So you run into issues if you actually try to serialize a BundleEvent. The only potential solution is to modify the standard BundleEvent class impl to declare these two fields as transient in the next spec release.

BundleEvent extends EventObject and thus implements Serializable [1], did you perhaps mean org.osgi.service.event.Event. Would be great to have org.osgi.service.event.Event serializable. I had some problems about this while implementing a remote event admin some time ago.

Any chance the base class will change or am I stuck with this? I would rather not have special logic which ignore these types of object when sending them through RMI (or other times serializing is involved).
