Description
serialization spec requires serialVersionUID to be private, but the one
appearing in java.util.Locale is default protection.

In java.util:

GregorianCalendar.java:450:    static final long serialVersionUID = -8125100834729963327L;

Comments
EVALUATION The serialver utility doesn't produce a private field. In most cases the serialver output is copied and pasted to the source code. ###@###.### 2004-03-15 There is no requirement that these be private. ###@###.### 2004-03-15 In email of 3/19/04, ###@###.### recommends that this still be fixed eventually. ###@###.### 2004-03-24
