The method isMimeTypeSerializedObject() of class
java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor returns false if DataFlavor describes
the serialized one.

The doc says:
--------------------------------------------------
public boolean isMimeTypeSerializedObject()

      does the DataFlavor represent a serialized object?
The test demonstrating the bug:
-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
       
      DataFlavor df = null;
      try {
df = new DataFlavor("application/x-java-serialized-object;class=java.io.Serializable");
      } catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
      }
      System.out.println(df.isMimeTypeSerializedObject());
  }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------
false
--------------------------------------------------
