Yup.  Sun has recently released a lot of information about the
standard representation of serializable Core classes, which made it
possible for us to be compliant, even if the internal implementation
and representation of classes is different.  We may have to write
explicit serialization code, though.  TVT has recently contributed
serialization code for a lot of classes, but I'm not sure they've
implemented them all already.

You'd have to test it.
