All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class NbMarshalledObject

extends Object

implements Serializable

Object that holds serialized reference to another object. Inspirated by java.rmi.MarshalledObject but modified to work with NetBeans and its modules. So no annotations are stored with the bytestream and when the object is deserialized it is assumed to be produced by the core IDE or one of installed modules or it is located in the repository.
