JDK-6362514 - ClassAttributeValueExp and NumericValueExp are missing a serialVersionUID
Description
The relevant classes are:

javax.management.AndQueryExp
javax.management.BetweenQueryExp
javax.management.BinaryOpValueExp
javax.management.BinaryRelQueryExp
javax.management.BooleanValueExp
javax.management.ClassAttributeValueExp
javax.management.InQueryExp
javax.management.MatchQueryExp
javax.management.NotQueryExp
javax.management.NumericValueExp
javax.management.OrQueryExp
javax.management.QualifiedAttributeValueExp

A JavaSE licensee must have them on board to provide interoperability but the current javadoc only lists them by their serial form; it is not enough to get them in the radar screen of licensees.
Comments
EVALUATION Spec for the various static Query.* methods should say for each one that it returns an object that is serialized as the appropriate class. For example something like this: /** * ... * @return The conjunction of the two arguments. The returned object * will be serialized as an instance of the non-public class {@link * <a href="../../serialized-form.html#javax.management.AndQueryExp"> * javax.management.AndQueryExp</a>}. */ public static QueryExp and(QueryExp q1, QueryExp q2) {...} An implementation is free to return any QueryExp it likes provided that it serializes as an AndQueryExp.
