Re: [jira] Created: (HARMONY-233) private serialVersionID field should be set in javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosKey class

[Geir Magnusson Jr <ge...@pobox.com>]

This sounds like a bug in the *spec*, because it means that 
theoretically, there is 1.4 code that won't compile under 1.5 due to 
reasons other than collision w/ language changes and 1.4 binary wouldn't 
run.

Right?
