> The method of testing that Derby can deserialize serialized data sources from older releases preserving upward compatibility, uses a set of checked in binary files, cf.
>    java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/testData/serializedDataSources/*.ser
> files. These have not been added to or updated since 10.3, it seems. It would be good to use the "only source" principle in the repo in this case too, and integrate this checking into the general upgrade test framework we have. Presently, one has to generate these files manually using the tool "SerializeDataSource" manually for each release and check in the results.
