I must be losing it since I can't find a code review for the fix for https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8039082
Presumably the "fix" is to regenerate the serialized object files on some other platform beside mac ?
But 8039082 was supposed to have done that, yet we clearly have a macOS class in here.
I question the whole wisdom of including any Swing related classes in such a serialized form since Swing only supports short-term serialization. Not across platforms, not across releases. But still .. 

And isn't it just one of these cases that failed ? Did you have to re-generate all of them ?

On which platform did you re-generate these ? And on which platforms did you then test the result ?
I don't want to replace one failure with another.

Also the test is now being problem-listed. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/6624
So this fix will need to de-problem list it.
