java.awt.Frame specifies the field "state" in its serial form, but there is no specification for it. Further, java.awt.Window has an identically named field. The two fields have different semantics, but the specification for Window.state does not make this clear. It says merely "An Integer value representing the Window State."

This has shown to be confusing for 3rd parties who must implement this API from the spec only.
