Description kitfox 2005-05-13 23:22:32 UTC 
I compile my projects in a free from project, and usually compile with the -lint
flag.  Unfortunately, this causes warnings to be thrown if the serialVersionUID
is not declared in the file.  I find when I compile, I have to go back through
all my Dialogs, Panels and Exeptions adding the serialVersionUID.

Could the serializable templates (Exception, JPanel, JDialog, JFrame, JApplet
and their awt counterparts) be altered to include the below line?  I'd suggest
putting this in the white editable part rather than the blue uneditable part of
the generated code.

    public static final long serialVersionUID = 0;

SVUID in Swing classes is not a good idea IMO. It can silence some tools but can
also cause some troubles. It is meant to help you keep the compatibility but
compatibility is not guaranteed here. And if you are not going to serialize it
anyway than it just polutes the code.
