Please make the doclet components be serializable

PUBLIC COMMENTS The doclet interfaces no longer extend serializable.

EVALUATION Changed synopsis to be clearer. Added comment from a developer who tried to serialize javadoc. doug.kramer@Eng 1998-11-20 The interface is declared as serializable, and it should be. robert.field@Eng 2000-03-10 The submitter has supplied the changes he seeks in "Comments" section. Without looking at the code, I can't tell from Robert's comment above if he believes this has already been partially implemented. doug.kramer@Eng 2001-02-22 No, it's not already implemented, and would require quite a bit of work. I'm not inclined to address this anytime soon. neal.gafter@Eng 2001-03-05 Actually, it can't be implemented properly without packaging up everything on the user's classpath and search path. I'm fixing the disconnect between the spec (that is, the interface) and the implementation by removing "implements Serializable" from the interface. It never was and almost certainly never will be. neal.gafter@Eng 2001-05-14 Verifying using fixer's comments that RootDoc will not be 'serializable' ###@###.### 2001-11-28
