JDK-4719336 - Ability for non focusCycleRoots to provide focusTraversalPolicy
Description
They are declared as:
    final private int FORWARD_TRAVERSAL = 0;
    final private int BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL = 1;
so it's not clear why they are required in the serialized form of the ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy class.
JDK7 deferral NMI -- Does SQE agree with this request?
This bug should be changed only in major release.
Comments
Changing the final members to transient might cause java.io.InvalidClassException, when de-serializing objects which were serialized with previous version of java. DefaultFocusFTP is inherited from ContainerOrderFTP & DefaultFTP is the default FocusTraversalPolicy for all AWT Containers. So This change may have a larger impact. Resolving the issue, as fixing this bug can cause incompatibilities.

These are all approved for deferral to JDK 9 so you can update the FixVersion to state JDK 9. Kind regards, Mathias

8-defer-request: This is the issue from 7 GA when it was approved to defer that time. Requesting to defer again because there are no customer escalations on this issue.

EVALUATION They are actually consts so we don't need they in serialized form but seem that they has added back in early 2003 (JDK1.5) with the patch for 4719336: Ability for non focusCycleRoots to provide focusTraversalPolicy Just moving it out of the serial form in an incompatible change.
