Serializable Angle, LatLon, Position

[shitesh]

Hi, all. I have a feature request, but wasn't sure if it's valid. Would it be possible to make Angle, LatLon, and Position implement Serializable? I find it quite handy to use them in various classes in my app as basic location types, but one requirement I have is that my classes must be serializable. I've been messing around with setting up serialization proxies for them, but can't find a solution that would be as elegant as just having an "implements Serializable" added to those three classes. If need be, I'd be happy to log an issue/pull request on GitHub, just thought I'd check here first if this made sense.

I second this. I've had to hack around these classes to make them serialize by making "wrapper" classes with a default constructor. Very hacky:

class SerializablePosition implements Serializable {

    /** The Constant serialVersionUID. */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    transient private Position position;

    public SerializablePosition() {

    }

    public SerializablePosition(Position positionVal) {
        this.position = positionVal;
    }

    public Position getPosition() {
        return position;
    }


    private void writeObject(final java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
            throws IOException {

        out.writeDouble(position.latitude.getDegrees());
        out.writeDouble(position.longitude.getDegrees());
        out.writeDouble(position.getAltitude());

    }

    private void readObject(final java.io.ObjectInputStream in)
            throws IOException {

        try {
            in.defaultReadObject();
            final double lat = in.readDouble();
            final double lon = in.readDouble();
            final double alt = in.readDouble();

            position = Position.fromDegrees(lat, lon, alt);

        } catch (final ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}
