2) Change L&F to Motif or GTK using Menu "Look And Feel"
3) Click on button "Serialize InternalFrame"

EVALUATION The stack trace points to JMenuItem.MenuItemPropertyChangeListener as not being serializable. Passing to owner of menu items to investigate. ###@###.### 2003-12-12 Name: azR10139 Date: 12/18/2003 The reason of this exception is that all the classes, derived from the AbstractButton class and created of configured by an Action have internal PropertyChangeListener, which is not serializable. The idea of suggested fix is to make those listeners serializable. ###@###.### 12/18/2003 ======================================================================
