Very interesting question.
Class variables (static) can be declared as transient, however class variables are not serialized and de-serialized. Only the persistence state of the object will be serialized, class variables will be re-created or intialized when the object is constructed after the de-serialisation process.
I recommend using the keyword transient for class variables, this makes it very clear to the programmer of the class that this variable will not be serialized.
