How do I remove these warnings?

Question

Hello:
I have these clases:
public  class CLayoutPanel extends Panel
    static final long serialVersionUID = 42L;
    //Something else...
abstract class CPanelConsult extends CLayoutPanel
    static final long serialVersionUID = 42L;
    public abstract CLayoutPanel CreatePanel();
class ConsItiner extends CPanelConsult
    static final long serialVersionUID = 42L;
    public CLayoutPanel CreatePanel()
        CLayoutPanel DataPanel = new CLayoutPanel();
        return DataPanel;
}    NetBeans [6.0] shows a warning: "Field hides another Field" (referring to serialVersionUID ) in ConsItiner, but not for CPanelConsult, which indeed does have a serialVersionUID field, despite its superclass (CLayoutPanel) also does.
If I remove serialVersionUID from ConsItiner, NetBeans warning goes away, but I get a compiler warning:
warning: [serial] serializable class ConsItiner has no definition of serialVersionUID
Curiously, if I remove serialVersionUID from CPanelConsult, warning goes away for its subclases, but I will get the compiler warning for this class. And I can't use @Override for the field.
1-Is there any way to remove both warnings?
2-Also, why do I get the "Field hides another Field" warning for ConsItiner, but not for CPanelConsult, if both have the base class serialVersionUID?
Thanks!

And I can't use @Override for the field.The 'hiding' warning is coming because the fields are not defined as 'private', so they are, indeed, being hidden. Remember, a subclass inherits everything that it can 'see', and all your classes are in the same package (in fact in the same file, by the looks of it).
