Could we perhaps have the JDK build use an annotation processor that
requires every public class in java.* javax.* etc that is serializable
to either declare a serialVersionUID or have
@SuppressWarnings("serial")? The amount of grief we have had over the
years with this would easily justify the effort.

Hi Alan.
I did check for that point in my review :-)
The VirtualMachineError class is abstract so as long as all its
subclasses declare a serialVersionUID, like InternalError does, I
think we're fine.
We need to check the serialization protocol but I'm pretty the object
stream class of the supertype goes into the stream too. Also I
quickly checked an an up-to-date build of jdk8/tl and its currently
unable to deserialize streams contain any of the virtual machine
errors like OutOfMemoryError, StackOverflowError, etc.
*sigh*
Thanks for checking on this Alan; I'll prepare a changeset with the
explicit serialVersionUID on InternalError.
