BUG: You receive a "does not implement interface member" compilation error message in a JLCA-converted Visual J++ project with a class that implements java.io.Serializable (814903)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Start Visual J++ 6.0.
2. On the File menu, click New Project.
3. On the New tab, expand Visual J++ Projects, and then click Applications.
4. In the right pane, click Console Application.
5. In the Name box, type MyVJTestApplication, and then click Open.
6. Replace the existing code with the following code for Class1.java:

   import java.util.*;
   import java.io.*;
   
   // Class that implements the Serializable interface
   class Employee implements Serializable
   {
   	private int empId;
   	private String name;
   	private int basicSalary;
   	
   	// Default constructor
   	// It is not a good idea to use this constructor.
   	// Always use the constructor with three parameters.
   	public Employee()
   	{
   	}
   	
   	// A constructor with three parameters
   	public Employee(int empId, String name, int basicSalary)
   	{
   		this.empId = empId;
   		this.name = name;
   		this.basicSalary = basicSalary;
   	}
   	
   	// A Setter method to set BasicPay
   	public void SetBasic(int newBasic)
   	{
   		this.basicSalary = newBasic;
   	}
   	
   	// A Print method to display the details of the Employee
   	public void PrintDetails()
   	{
   		System.out.println("Employee ID       : "+ empId);
   		System.out.println("Employee Name     : "+ name);
   		System.out.println("Employee Basic Pay: "+ basicSalary);
   	}
   	
   }
   
   //A class with the Main method
   public class Class1
   {
   	public static void main(String[] args)
   	{
   		Employee employee = new Employee(80366, "Peter", 3700);
   		employee.PrintDetails();
   	}
   }
   

7. On the File menu, click Save All.
8. Quit Visual J++.
9. Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003.
10. On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Convert.
11. Click Java Language Conversion Assistant in the Available Converters list, and then click OK.
12. Follow the instructions in JLCA Wizard to convert the Visual J++ project that you created earlier in these steps.
13. On the Build menu, click Build Solution. You receive the compilation error message that is listed in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
