A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When trying to serialize a JEditorPane containing a HTML page, we get a NotSerializableException from the HTMLEditorKit


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Open a HTML page with a JEditorPane (setPage Method).
Send the JEditorPane to a client using Java RMI (or simply try to serialize the JEditorPane)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Since JeditorPane and HTMLEditorKit implement Serializable, there should be no problems
ACTUAL -
java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted
java.io.NotSerializableException

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
error unmarshalling return; nested exception is: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit$NavigateLinkAction$FocusHighlightPainter java.rmi.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
