JDK 1.4 serialization mechanism ignores the
serialVersionUID constant defined in the class.

%/net/sword/export3/JDK1.4.0beta-b43/solaris/bin/serialver java.awt.Component
java.awt.Component: static final long serialVersionUID = 2467974949008636886L;
%cat /net/sword/export3/JDK1.4.0beta-b43/src/java/awt/Component.java | grep serialVersionUID
     * JDK 1.1 serialVersionUID
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -7644114512714619750L;


There is a lot of JCK tests that fail with diagnostic like this:

----------log:(39/3761)----------
