Implemented the Serializable Interface in JDK 1.1. Therefore, the serial
form needs to be specified. The approach for specifying the Serializable
form via javadoc comments can be found at.


  http://jse.east.sun.com/serial/annotate.html

This is a P3 bug which means that in needs to be addressed for JDK 1.2 FCS.
However, since tests need to be written to enforce the Serializable form
for the JCK it would be appreciated if you could address this problem
long before FCS.

Also, progress on this effort will be tracked via

If you have any questions on how to proceed or general comments
please send mail to jdk-serial@east

======================================================================

   The only classes that remain to be done are:

    Date
    GregorianCalendar
    Locale
    MissingResourceExce[topm
    SimpleTimeZone
    TimeZone

    I leave it to the I18N guys to do these classes.
