FWIW, the `transient` is redundant: `serialPersistentFields` _explicitly_ declares the serializable fields (i.e., a set of name/type pairs); all that the `transient` does is aid in figuring out the _implicit_ serializable fields if there is no explicit declaration. (Just to confirm, I tested that if I add `transient` to a field that is also listed in `serialPersistentFields`, serialization will read and write that field anyway.) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28274#issuecomment-3536891063
