Eclipse中出现“Add a serial version ID”的warning 解决办法

最近重新安装了Eclipse，在设计一个不继承任何类的类时，不会有任何warning，但在设计一个子类时，编译器经常提示“warning”，在网上查了很多资料终于搞定了这个问题：如下

测试提示:The serializable class FormatStr does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long
     发现在我继承一些类时,会提示要这个,我打开所继承的类,里面是这样写的:

     static final long serialVersionUID = -3387516993124229948L;

     这个有什么作用呢??

     如果我这个子类一定要声明这个serialVersionUID 那应该怎样构造它的值呢??自己随便写一个long值就行了吗???

网上某人解答如下:

     那与jdk的版本没关系吧.
      那是Eclipse提供这个提示功能给你吧.
      你点它warning的icon两下Eclipse就会自动给定.
      如果你不喜欢,可以把它关掉,windows -> preferences -> compiler -> Error/Warnings-> Potential Programming problems
      将Serializable class without serialVersionUID的warning改成ignore.

      其实如果你没有考虑到兼容性问题时,那就把它关掉吧.
      其实有这个功能是好的.
      只要任何类别实作了Serializable这个介面,
      如果没有加入serialVersionUID,Eclipse都会给你warning提示,
      这个serialVersionUID为了让该类别Serializable後兼容.

      考虑一下,如果今天你的类Serialized存到硬碟里,
      可是後来你却更改了类别的field(增加或减少或改名).
      当你Deserialize时,就会出现Exception.这样就会做成不兼容性的问题.

      但当serialVersionUID相同时,它就会将不一样的field以type的预设值Deserialize.
      这个可以避开不兼容性的问题.

      至于你说内存的问题,我觉得没差多少吧.

      在eclipse中，当一个类继承另一个类时，总是提示一个如下问题：
     “The serializable class A does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long”
      然后我按照eclipse的建议(add default serial Version ID)，增加如下代码：
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;就没有错误提示了。
      而且如果所定义的类没有继承其它类，也没有这个问题。

SUN官方网站解说摘要:

     adcworks : Hi,
                     I develop with Eclipse IDE and am using the latest milestone that includes Java 5 syntax.

                    Since having upgraded, I get hundreds of the same warning for any class that extends another class with the following message:
                     Serializable class X does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long.

                    I would like to know
                     a) Should I really ought to be doing something properly with this field, and if so, can you advise the best way to approach that.

                     b) Can I turn off these warnings. They are not in the Eclipse filter to exclude.

                     c) Is it safe to ignore them?
                     Thanks!

Yes, if you actually serialize those objects. It can make version maintenance easier.
                     > b) Can I turn off these warnings. They are not in the Eclipse filter to exclude.
You turn them off on the Preferences | Compiler | Style page. It's the last item.
                     > c) Is it safe to ignore them?
Sure. You just won't have as much control over serialized versions.

              Or hit <ctrl>-1 in Eclipse. It will add a default or generated serial version ID for you. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=581654&messageID=3501336   (Sun网页地址)
