Answer 1

Serializing an InputStream is not a very viable solution. To illustrate this, imagine if you have an InputStream from a socket and you serialize that. Before you deserialize it, the socket is closed. Now when you actually do deserialize it, the resource has vanished and you have a nasty exception in your hands.

What you should rather do, if you need to serialize a resource, is to serialize the location of it or how to obtain it. In the socket example: host name and port, for files: the file path, etc.

Answer 2

In eclipse the key shortcut Ctrl+T opens the type hierarchy. You can even use this feature on a base class or an interface an you get a list with all implementation/subclasses of this type.

If you do this twice and compare the two results you will find your classes. However in case of e.g. Serializable and Comparable the intersection may become quite huge ...

Don't be offended, but it sounds to me like you're attempting to solve the wrong problem. What are you really trying to achieve?

Answer 4

I am not sure that you can do that in fact (or at least in an easy way...).

Anyway, I like the "Open Implementation" plugin that allows you to right-click on a method of a class or an interface (or the class / interface itself) and ask for all known implementation of this method / interface / class. This plugin may help you (you can now search for all implementation of the InputStream

Answer 5

You can get a set of subtypes programmatically with the Reflections library. Intersection of two sets will be your answer.

Set<Class<? extends Serializable>> subTypes = 
           reflections.getSubTypesOf(Serializable.class);

However, this isn't an Eclipse specific solution.
