Hey coskun

I'm sure you know it's included with your jdk under java.io.Serializable. Some stuff from the docs that might help.

The subtype may assume this responsibility only if the class it extends has an accessible no-arg constructor to initialize the class's state. strongly advised that explicit serialVersionUID declarations use the private modifier where possible,
