EVALUATION Explicitly declare private static final long field containing default serialVersionUID for : java.net.BindException java.net.ProtocolException java.net.SocketException java.net.SocketTimeoutException java.net.UnknownHostException java.net.UnknownServiceException java.net.URISyntaxException java.net.ConnectException java.net.HttpRetryException java.net.MalformedURLException java.net.NoRouteToHostException java.net.PortUnreachableException The serialVersionUID of each of the exceptions was determined by serialver, and verified as unchanged since its introduction. There are other sun private Exceptions and classes, e.g. sun.net.ConnectionResetException, that should have their serialVersionUID set. These will also be fixed as part of this CR.
