As far as i know j.l.r.Method was introduced in Java 1.1 as non mutable and become mutable with Java 1.2, (yes, someone seriously fucked up !) Some harsh language there :-) I don’t know the full history but i like to think this may have been a frustrating compromise due to some demanding serialization requirements under a tight schedule. Methods are not serializable.

No, but was Paul referring to the fact the the custom readObject and writeObject methods must be private, and somehow accessible to the Serialization framework ?
