[Bug 54843] java.io.InvalidClassException:
org.apache.tools.ant.Location
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54843
--- Comment #1 from Antoine Levy-Lambert <an...@apache.org> ---
The private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L was added between Ant
1.8.4 and Ant 1.9.0 in Revision 1375137 as part of a series of Java 5 updates.
It looks like this is a change which has broken some degree of compatibility
between Ant 1.8.4 and Ant 1.9.0 but this is a one time change.
This change should have been documented in WHATSNEW and ReleaseNotes as a
change that could break older environment.
I will revert to the dev at ant.apache.org list to see whether we should close
this bug report as WONTFIX - my personal inclination.

Thanks, I have closed the bug report as WONTFIX.
I found out that Location and RuntimeConfigurable are the 2 only Ant classes which are serializable.
Maybe someone wanted to save the state of an Ant run in order to be able to restart later ?
Regards,
Antoine

Yes, I think WONTFIX is the correct approach.
I don't think we want to give any guarantees about compatibility of
object serializations across Ant versions. I think object
serialization is not really intended for long term object storage,
more just for object transmission.
Do we know why Ant objects are being serialized at all?

Hi,
The bug report 54843 complains about the introduction of a serialVersionUID in Location.java between Ant 1.8.4 and Ant 1.9.0
as it prevents the user from loading using Ant 1.9.0 serialized files created with Ant 1.8.4
It looks like this change has introduced a form of incompatibility between 1.8.4 and 1.9.0 but now I would be tempted to say that it would be a problem to revert the introduction of these serialVersionUID fields.
I am tempted to close the bug report as WONTFIX.
Thoughts ?
Antoine
