Agreed and there are Mauve tests to proof that. Thanks.
I have no idea how this strange case looks like. Since it seems that any
"later" class can only be added at the bottom of the class hierarchy.
Tom, do you have an example of what you are thinking of?

I have checked this in with the following ChangeLog entry:

2005-07-03  Daniel Bonniot  <address@hidden>

   * java/io/ObjectStreamClass.java (inSamePackage): New private method.
   (findAccessibleMethod): Likewise.
   (cacheMethods): Lookup readResolve and writeReplace using the new
   findAccessibleMethod().

Thanks Daniel.

Cheers,

Mark
