<Swing Dev> The method XMLEncoder.writeObject(TreePath) goes into infinite recursion

[Sergey Malenkov]

Hi Pavel,

Now I have no plan to fix the 6423060 CR in JDK 6, but it is possible
to find and backport needed files from the finder package.
Do you mean Open JDK 6 or JDK 6 Update Release?

Thanks,
SAM
