The fields bitCount, bitLength, and lowestSetBit appear in the serialized form only for backward compatibility and are otherwise ignored, so their @serialField entries should just say that instead of describing how they were formerly used. Also, firstNonzeroByteNum is missing a @serialField entry, and it should have the same description as the others. Corrected

I found another small item here. Currently we have for serialPersistentFields the following: 4203 * @serialField magnitude int[] 4204 * magnitude array of this BigInteger and 4216 new ObjectStreamField("magnitude", byte[].class), In the @serialField annotation the type should also be byte[], no?

Thanks,

Brian
