Description
The serializable types in sun.reflect.annotation.* used to persist annotation objects do not declare serialVersionUIDs, making the classes suspectible to compatability problems when those classes are edited.
Comments
This is regression in CPU14_04. We have to have it fixed in 5.0u75. SQE OK to take it.
11-08-2014
SQE has looked at the bug and decided no additional tests are needed.
14-08-2013
It is a trivial fix, and can be covered by tests from CR7067132.
