I always use a random set of numbers anyway. Not the Sun tool. I understand the theory of using 1, but I'm not sure all our users would. Its probably safer (fewer Q's asked on the list) to leave it as a big random number. Stephen - Original Message - From: "Gary Gregory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

[lang] Mutable serialVersionUID usage

2004-10-08 Thread Gary Gregory
Hello, I see that all of the mutable.Mutable implementers have a serialVersionUID variable, which is a good thing. Now, shouldn't we consider this "Java Idiom": http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AlwaysDeclareSerialVersionUid The idiom basically says that you should use the value "1" for new first version
