Scala: How to show the SerialVersionUID of a Serializable class

If you ever need to look at the SerialVersionUID field in a Scala or Java class, I can confirm that this approach works:


For instance, given this Scala class:

class Sheep(val name: String) extends Serializable {
    override def toString = name
    val greet: String = {
        s"Hello, $name"

If you create an instance of that class named sheep and then run the println statement, you’ll see the number 125. I also confirmed that this works if you serialize and deserialize this object.
