DESCRIPTION
       serialver returns the serialVersionUID for one or more classes in a form suitable for copying into an
       evolving class.  When invoked with no arguments, it prints a usage line.

                      Set search path for application classes and resources.

       -show          Displays a simple user interface.  Enter the full class  name  and  press  either  the
                      Enter key or the Show button to display the serialVersionUID.

       -Joption       Pass  option to the Java virtual machine, where option is one of the options described
                      on the man page for the java application launcher,  java(1).  For  example,  -J-Xms48m
                      sets  the  startup  memory  to  48 megabytes. It is a common convention for -J to pass
                      options to the underlying virtual machine.
