Javadoc running on the Java 2 SDK is not currently fully automated.
The one manual step is the creation of the Serialized Form page,
which is extremely complex and takes me about three full days
for each release. Josh and I have determined that we can fully
automate this with the addition of the "include" and "exclude"
arguments to the @serial tag. The reasons behind these special
cases are varied and complicated. Setting up a policy like this
for the Standard Edition would allow J2EE and J2ME to follow suit
with their Serialized Form pages.

This is two parts:
1) Add "@serial include" and "@serial exclude" tags to doc comments
   as appropriate
2) Modify the standard doclet to include/exclude the classes

Here is the first part:

Add this tag in the doc comments of the following private classes:

  /**
   * @serial include
   */

 Class java.util.Arrays.ArrayList
 Class java.util.Collections.ReverseComparator
 Class java.util.Collections.SynchronizedCollection
 Class java.util.Collections.SynchronizedList
 Class java.util.Collections.SynchronizedMap
 Class java.util.Collections.SynchronizedSet
 Class java.util.Collections.SynchronizedSortedMap
 Class java.util.Collections.SynchronizedSortedSet
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableCollection
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableList
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableMap
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableMap.UnmodifiableEntrySet
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableSet
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableSortedMap
 Class java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableSortedSet

 Class java.util.PropertyPermissionCollection
 Class java.io.FilePermissionCollection
 Class java.security.AllPermissionCollection
 Class java.security.BasicPermissionCollection
 Class java.security.PermissionsHash
 Class java.security.UnresolvedPermissionCollection
 Class java.net.SocketPermissionCollection

 Class java.util.Collections.CopiesList
 Class java.util.Collections.EmptyList
 Class java.util.Collections.EmptySet
 Class java.util.Collections.SingletonSet

And add this tag to the following public classes:

  /**
   * @serial exclude
   */
   
 Package javax.swing

 Class java.awt.datatransfer.MimeTypeParseException

 Class java.security.AllPermission
 Class java.security.BasicPermission
 Class java.io.FilePermission
 Class java.security.Permissions
 Class java.util.PropertyPermission
 Class java.net.SocketPermission

 The above "exclude" list should also include all javax.swing subpackages:
 (this was overlooked in the original request)

 Package:
 javax.swing.border
 javax.swing.colorchooser
 javax.swing.event
 javax.swing.filechooser
 javax.swing.plaf
 javax.swing.plaf.basic
 javax.swing.plaf.metal
 javax.swing.plaf.multi
 javax.swing.table
 javax.swing.text
 javax.swing.text.html
 javax.swing.text.html.parser
 javax.swing.text.rtf
 javax.swing.tree
 javax.swing.undo
