FOR BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY ONLY - DO NOT USE.

This is a backwards compatibility class to allow Java Beans that were developed under JDK 1.0.2 to run correctly under JDK 1.1

To allow beans development under JDK 1.0.2, JavaSoft delivered three no-op interfaces/classes (sunw.io.Serializable, sunw.util.EventObject and sunw.util.EventListener) that could be downloaded into JDK 1.0.2 systems and which would act as placeholders for the real JDK 1.1 classes.

Now under JDK 1.1 we provide versions of these classes and interfaces that inherit from the real version in java.util and java.io. These mean that beans developed under JDK 1.0.2 against the sunw.* classes will now continue to work on JDK 1.1 and will (indirectly) inherit from the appropriate java.* interfaces/classes.

See Also:
Deprecated:This is a compatibility type to allow Java Beans that were developed under JDK 1.0.2 to run correctly under JDK 1.1. The corresponding JDK1.1 type is java.io.Serializable
