problem with serialization

First, after I read the api doc of jfreechart, I found that JFreeChart implements java.io.Serializable,but when I use ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(Object) to write the JFreeChart, the program stopped with java.io.NotSerializableException.
so I read the source, to my surprise, it does not implements the java.io.Serializable.
Is it a bug of API doc, or the source I read was too old?
by the way,does any Dataset Object implements java.io.Serializable?

Most classes are Serializable in the latest release. The code is fairly new though, so I'm expecting some bugs to be found.

Hi,

not only the object you write needs to be serializable, all references in the object need to be, too.

Some more improvements have been made for the 0.9.12 release. If anyone wants to help out, some additional JUnit tests to confirm that the serialization is really working would be very helpful.
