Persistent on parent classes enough?

I noticed that if I do:
JComponent.persistent=true

I still get this warning:
warning: instance vars on non-persistent Java type
Java::JavaxSwing::JButton (http://wiki.jruby.org/Persistence)

even though JButton is a child class of JComponenent. I assume this is
expected and there’s nothing I can do about it? (Just wondering,
thanks).
