Description Stefan Schulz CLA 2008-04-02 10:24:36 EDT 
Build ID: I20080330-1350

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Define some abstract class to be Serializable.

Will create the following warning on that abstract class:
"The serializable class XYZ does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long"

The warning does not make much sense for an abstract class as no instances thereof can exist. The warning should at least be switchable.
