Description terje7601 2015-07-20 17:22:25 UTC 
Serializable specifies several private methods which can be overridden to influence serialization of Serializable classes:

 private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
     throws IOException
 private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in)
     throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException;
 private void readObjectNoData()
     throws ObjectStreamException;

NetBeans considers these to be unused, even though they are actually used.

This is similar to issue 176240, but not a duplicate.

Apologies... the unused highlight detection is indeed in Java Editor.

I've extended the check for serialization spec related methods and fields according to the spec.

Fixed in jet-main#78665f2ce804
