Issue Description
JDK-8367031

Regression in Serialization of LocalDate Class Objects


The serialized Class objects for several classes in the java.time package are incompatible between JDK 25 and previous versions. The affected classes include LocalDate, YearMonth, MonthDay, and HijrahDate. If a Class object for one of these classes is serialized on a previous version and is deserialized on JDK 25, or vice-versa, InvalidClassException will be thrown.

Note that the incompatibility exists with Class objects but not instances of these classes. Serializing the Class object, for example by using:

`writeObject(LocalDate.class)`

will encounter the incompatibility. However, Serializing an instance through

`writeObject(LocalDate.now())`

is compatible.

The issue will be examined for a future update release.
