NAME
       serialver - The Serial Version Command

       The serialver command returns the serialVersionUID.

SYNOPSIS
       serialver [ options ] [ classnames ]


          options
             Command-line options, as specified in this document.

          classnames
             One or more class names

DESCRIPTION
       serialver returns the serialVersionUID for one or more classes in a
       form suitable for copying into an evolving class. When invoked with no
       arguments it prints a usage line.

OPTIONS
       -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated
          by :> Set search path for application classes and resources.

       -show
          Displays a simple user interface. Enter the full class name and
          press either the Enter key or the Show button to display the
          serialVersionUID.

       -Joption
          Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is one of the
          options described on the reference page for the java application
          launcher. For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48
          megabytes.

NOTES
       The serialver command loads and initializes the specified classes in
       its virtual machine, and by default, it does not set a security
       manager. If serialver is to be run with untrusted classes, a security
       manager can be set with the following option:

          -J-Djava.security.manager

       and, if necessary, a security policy can be specified with the
       following option:

          -J-Djava.security.policy=<policy file>
