It would be nice to have the option to generate a serialVersionUID in a source file which implements Serializable.

It would save dropping out of the ide and setting up a classpath to run serialver from the commandline.

Anyone have an alternate way of doing it (I know about http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=257 – it doesn;t work with jdk1.4.2).

goul,
This is actually an Eclipse request since it deals with Java code manipulation. Please see this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22041, and a gentleman created a new plugin for this because the one you reference caused him problems to, it is here: http://remotejava.dyndns.org/serialver/com.jpl.serialver_1.0.0.zip

Please note that there are bugs reported again this functionality in eclipse (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39317 and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=10104), which makes me wonder if this functionality is already in Eclipse (Maybe 3.0 specifically)?

I’d not seen that plugin – I will give it a try.

Many thanks.

No problem, if it ends up working can you follow up with us here so future users can learn from this thread as well?

It didn’t work for me – I always got errors about not being able to find the compiled class.
I suspect it was because I generate my classes away from the source files (if I get chance I will investigate in the source, if its an easy patch I will reply).

hmm, ok thank you for updating us. Also post your fix (if you get one) back to the Eclipse team so they can integrate it.
