Huh, I've never had data loss experiences, but then again I never really did use it for long term storage / across Java versions etc. Will need to keep this in mind though. I always assumed that as long as the internal data structure of a class does not change, the serialized data will remain readable, regardless of the functional changes in the class. Anyway, interesting, thanks.

As for NSCoder and company, never manually used it.

It depends too much on the class signature. For temporary storage it's ok, but when the class definition changes (or serialVersionUID must be modified), the data is lost. That's my experience.
