JDK-4288811 - in appletSave: java.io.NotSerializableException occurs on win32 and solaris
Description
Not all applets are serializable, and yet appletviewer assumes that they are by allowing the user to save them.  This should be controlled somehow.

See bug # 4280648: ava.lang.NullPointerException occurred by file saving with appletviewer.

To reproduce: 
1) Run any applet with appletviewer.
2) Use the applet to change it's state.
3) Select Save under the Applet menu.
RESULT: It may or may not throw exceptions.

This problem occurs with JDK1.3fcs-V on Solaris 2.7.
