Augmentations to javac's Xlint:serial checking are out for review (#5709) and the java.xml module would need some changes to pass under the expanded checks.
The changes are to suppress warnings where non-transient fields in serializable types are not declared with a type statically known to be serializable. That isn't necessarily a correctness issues, but it does merit further scrutiny. I'll run a script to update the copyright years before pushing. ------------- Commit messages: - 8274415: Suppress warnings on non-serializable non-transient instance fields in java.xml Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5730/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=5730&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274415 Stats: 45 lines in 27 files changed: 45 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5730.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/5730/head:pull/5730 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5730
