        The serialver tool computes a the serialVersionUID for a serializable class and emits a line of code suitable for pasting into a source file. For example, "serialver java.lang.String" emits:

        java.lang.String: static final long serialVersionUID = -6849794470754667710L;

        Unfortunately this does not follow the recommendation in the java.io.Serializable class doc, which "strongly advises" the field be declared private.
