...as it prevents virgin builds from working fully and makes it harder to remove firststart from the build process. If the ModuleInstall is only tracking install count, please try to remove the readExternal and writeExternal methods completely and find a better way. (Does a "project" need to be opened automatically etc. or is there some other way to do this that does not require keeping count?)
taking this issue
Don't forget to actually *remove* the declaration of readExternal and writeExternal once they only call super, as this permits the module system to use an optimization and avoid even trying to serialize them (in either case it will not write the results to disk if they are not changed from the initial state).
Serialization was removed from ProjectsModule class, no readExternal/writeExteral methods, no .ser file created under the Modules directory anymore. Done in main trunk.
Verified.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
