I use the following construct:

public class Outer
        implements java.io.Serializable
{
    static final long serialVersionUID = -
982764827346875L;

    public class Inner
        implements java.io.Serializable
    {
        static final long serialVersionUID = -
2345235234524545L;
    }

}


The Borland compiler (JBuilder3) will complain,
Sun's compiler from
JDK1.2 won't. Sun's compiler complains only on
non final statics.

Who's wrong?

If Sun's compiler is bogous, how can I apply the
serialVersionUID mechanism to member classes?
Or is this not necessary, since member class
instances never appear without an outer class
instance, and the serialization mechanism uses
the serialVersionUID of the toplevel class if
available?

Thanks Georg
