Specification excerpt:
======================
--------- J2SE API spec v.1.5 ---------
Javadoc for java.io.Serializable says:
...
it is strongly recommended that all serializable classes explicitly 
declare serialVersionUID values, since the default serialVersionUID 
computation is highly sensitive to class details that may vary depending 
on compiler implementations, and can thus result in unexpected 
InvalidClassExceptions during deserialization. Therefore, to guarantee 
a consistent serialVersionUID value across different java compiler 
implementations, a serializable class must declare an explicit 
serialVersionUID value. It is also strongly advised that explicit 
serialVersionUID declarations use the private modifier where possible, 
since such declarations apply only to the immediately declaring 
class--serialVersionUID fields are not useful as inherited members.
...
---------- end-of-excerpt ---------------

Problem description
===================
Javadoc doesn't specify the serialVersionUID for any serializable
classes in the following packages:
  javax.sql.rowset
  javax.sql.rowset.serial
  javax.sql.rowset.spi 
These may result in an unintentional serialization incompatibility 
in the future. According to RFE 4525039 the serialVersionUID 
should be included in the Serialized Form generated for each class.
