[Joe Darcy]

Hello.

I hereby request to approval to backport

    7080038: (ann) Serializable types in sun.reflect.annotation do not 
declare serialVersionUIDs
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/71e353aba896

to jdk7u-dev/jdk.  Some more description of the change is on

    
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2011-August/007490.html

The patch applies cleanly to 7 update.  (In order to reduce the window 
of exposure of this problem in the 7 train, this patch may in the end be 
present in 7u1 as well as 7u2.)

Thanks,

-Joe
