Description
During the code review of JDK-8231334, is was observed that some of non-transient instance fields of java.awt.Container are not accessed by its writeObject method, which uses the putFields mechanism rather than defaultWriteObject. The non-accessed fields are effectively transient and could be marked accordingly, removing the need to suppress a warning for a non-serializable non-transient field.
Comments
I cannot find such fields, the "accessibleContainerHandler" mentioned during the review of JDK-8231334 is located in the nested AccessibleAWTContainer class, not the Container class itself.
