The serializable class java.text.RuleBasedCollator evolved incompatibly.

Error: serialized field deleted -> contractTable.
This is an incompatible change.

This bug report was generated via an automated process embeded in the tool ververify. Ververify checks for binary incompatibilities of serializable classes between different releases of the JDK via static analysis. (Note: There are a set of other tests that try to find incompatibilities via dynamic analysis. These incompatibilities cannot be found by ververify.)
Ververify should always be run by the engineer making changes to a serializable class and only when it determines no incompatible change should the engineer go ahead and check in the changes made to the main workspace.
It is quite possible that ververify will file a bug due to an incompatible change that was made intentionally because of architectural constraints. If this is the case, please send mail to jdk-serial@east explaining why and we will close this report and add the change to an exclude list so this bug report will not get re-generated.
If you have any further questions regarding serialization compatibility you can get more information from the web site: http://jse.east/serial/compat/.
If you have specific questions about this bug report, please send mail to jdk-serial@east.
