Augmentations to javac's Xlint:serial checking are out for review (#5709) and various javac and javadoc implementation libraries 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 year before pushing. Sending this change out for review separately in an effort to de-bulk the review needed for the new checks themselves. ------------- Commit messages: - 8274405: Suppress warnings on non-serializable non-transient instance fields in javac and javadoc Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5728/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=5728&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274405 Stats: 12 lines in 12 files changed: 12 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5728.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/5728/head:pull/5728 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5728
