Class NbMarshalledObject

java.lang.Object

org.openide.util.io.NbMarshalledObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class NbMarshalledObject
extends Object
implements Serializable

Object that holds serialized reference to another object. Inspired by java.rmi.MarshalledObject but modified to work with NetBeans and its modules. So no annotations are stored with the bytestream and when the object is deserialized it is assumed to be produced by some installed module.
