Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

Indigo is emitting these warnings for serialVersionUID

The field XXX.serialVersionUID is hiding a field from type ParentXXX
and
The value of field XXX.serialVersionUID is not used

both are always bogus warnings. This wasn't reported in Helios.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add two classes in a hierarchy
2. Add serial version uids to both
3. turn on the appropriate compiler warnings in indigo

Are both classes serializable ?

Ah! these classes where once derived from a JPanel which is Serializable, but had since been refactored so that was not the case. 

So not a bug... altho a warning like, this class doesn't really need a serialVersionUID field, would be better.

thanks.
