Mikhail, is this bug fix still in your plans to meet ZBB (Oct 20)? http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/

Sergey, I think the best is to make it transient and add null checks where the field is used. Do you mind if I take this issue?

Yes you can take it, the problem is: can we change it after release of jdk8.

It is unclear how to fix this issue properly. The new private non transient field - originalSource was added in jdk8, but serialVersionUID was not updated. Is "@since" will be enough? or we should mark this field as transient? or serialVersionUID should be updated?
