Issue 3160: Definition of serialVersionUID field (java2idl-rtf)
Source:  (Mr. Simon C. Nash, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Does the serialVersionUID field need to be private, static, and final,
or just static and final?  The Java to IDL spec says private, static,
and final, but as far as I can tell, regular Java serialization just
uses static and final.  This has been a source of confusion for a number
of users.
