[7u10] Request for phase 2 approval for CR 7193219: JComboBox serialization fails in JDK 1.7

[Anton Litvinov]

Hello,

I would like to request for a phase 2 approval to push the following 
change into JDK 7u10 repository.

It is necessary to have this fix in JDK 7u10, because it resolves a 
customer's issue of high importance, while waiting for 7u12 update, 
perhaps, could be unacceptable. Webrev contains both a fix and a 
corresponding test. Before publishing this webrev all unit-tests from 
"java.awt" and "javax.swing" packages related to serialization were run 
and no negative changes were observed comparing results of the tests on 
JDK with and without the fix.
