Description

### Description

There are now no up-to-date plugins for NetBeans to compute a serialVersionUID. An option for this (using the serialver process behind the scenes) would be a welcome addition to the Source menu, and would solve the keeping-up-do-date problem.

### Use case/motivation

Objective: ease of including a serialVersionUID while in the IDE, rather than having to go to a command window.

Research direction

Start by locating the NetBeans Source menu actions and the integration point for invoking the serialver process. Done means users can compute a serialVersionUID from the IDE through a Source menu option instead of using a command window.
