Short version no mystery Eclipse flags classes that implement java.io.Serializable or that inherit a serializable superclass when they have no serialVersionUID field. The compiler is trying to help by warning you that class structure changes can break Java serialization. If you like noisy editors this is a feature. If you like your sanity intact then read on.
Pick one of these depending on whether your objects cross process boundaries or live only in memory for a minute and then are garbage collected.
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
If serialized forms are sent across the network saved to disk or used between different versions of your app then declare a meaningful serialVersionUID and change it on breaking changes. If the Serializable implementation is accidental for local ephemeral use then suppress the warning or accept the default generated value. Default generation is fine for short lived objects that never leave the JVM.
Fixing the Eclipse serialVersionUID warning is simple. Use the Quick Fix when you want automation. Add a manual field when compatibility matters. Suppress the warning when serialization is accidental. Pick your path and enjoy fewer red squiggles in the editor. Your future self will thank you or at least stop yelling at the IDE.
