public class Serialize
extends Object
This class generates serialized beans. It is used by the makefiles to create serialized instances of each of the standard AWT controls, for inclusion in controls.jar, so that users of the Assembly Surface will have some basic controls to use during assembly of aggregate beans.

This class is a generalized version of JavaSoft's OrangeButtonWriter from the April '97 BDK 1.0.

Usage: java com.ibm.beans.tools.Serialize className [fileName]

where className is the name of a Java class containing a null constructor, (such as java.awt.TextArea), and fileName is an optional parameter specifying the name of the .ser file. If the fileName parameter is not specified, then the string following the last "." in the className parameter, with a ".ser" extension, is used - for instance, for java.awt.TextArea, a file named "TextArea.ser" would be created in the current directory).
