What algorithm is used by eclipse to generate veri

Question

Suppose here is my class :

class B implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -5186261241138469827L; // what algo is used to generate this
     ..........
}

What algorithm eclipse uses to generate serialVersionUID = -5186261241138469827L ?

Answer 1

Eclipse implements the relevant Java spec to compute Serialization ID.

In Eclipse, this is implemented by calculateSerialVersionId method in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.correction.SerialVersionHashOperation class.

Answer 2

Java Object Serialization Specification Docs ,given that algo

The hash value is assembled from the first and second 32-bit values of the SHA-1 message digest. If the result of the message digest, the five 32-bit words H0 H1 H2 H3 H4, is in an array of five int values named sha, the hash value would be computed as follows:

  long hash = ((sha[0] >>> 24) & 0xFF) |
              ((sha[0] >>> 16) & 0xFF) << 8 |
              ((sha[0] >>> 8) & 0xFF) << 16 |
              ((sha[0] >>> 0) & 0xFF) << 24 |
              ((sha[1] >>> 24) & 0xFF) << 32 |
              ((sha[1] >>> 16) & 0xFF) << 40 |
              ((sha[1] >>> 8) & 0xFF) << 48 |
              ((sha[1] >>> 0) & 0xFF) << 56;
