title: Why isn't java.awt.image.BufferedImage serializable?
body: <p>I'm trying to serialize a <code>BufferedImage</code> in Java, but running my program I received a  <code>NotSerializableException</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at the <code>BufferedImage</code> class, I noticed that it does not implements <code>Serializable</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Why doesn't <code>BufferedImage</code> implement <code>Serializable</code>?</p>
