Ehh... Externalizable extends Serializable, so it still holds that only
objects of class that - directly or indirectly - implement Serializable can
be serialized.

As for placing an otherwise non-serializable object into an array, and then
serializing the array: you'll still get a java.io.NotSerializableException
as soon as the serialization machinery encounters the first component of the
array that isn't serializable. If objects of any class were serializable,
this exception class needn't exist.
