If you put a non-Serializable object into an array and try to serialize bad things will happen (same thing with Collections or if you define a class as Serializable and then create non-Serializable members).
Good rule of thumb: don't serialize anything that's isn't a Serializable object.

You can also use the Externalizable interface as well as place any object in
an array and serialize the array.

Only objects that implement java.io.Serializable should be serialized.
Although it might be possible to serialize a class that doesn't implement
Serializable, the interface exists for a reason. Use it to flag that your
class is safe to be serialized.
