Issue 94: Static factory methods can return non-serializable predicates
http://code.google.com/p/google-collections/issues/detail?id=94

New issue report by marti.th:
Hello

Some of the static factory methods, for instance Predicates.isEqualTo(),
can return non-serializable predicates when called with a parameter that
doesn't implement Serializable.

Example:
---------------------------------------------------------
Object predicateObj = Predicates.isEqualTo(new Object());
ObjectOutput objectOut = new ObjectOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("predicate.ser"));
objectOut.writeObject(predicateObj);

Exception in thread "main" java.io.NotSerializableException:
java.lang.Object
---------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion this should at least be mentioned in the javadocs...

Bye, Thomas

Comment #1 by jared.l.levy:
Thanks for pointing this out.

I'll keep the current behavior of returning instances that aren't
serializable but
satisfy the Serializable interface. However, documenting that behavior is a
good
idea. That approach is consistent with JDK methods like
Collections.unmodifiableCollection().
