Generate serialVersionUID in Eclipse for serializable object

When it's a good time to generate this serialVersionUID (say in
Eclipse)?

- In the very beginning when creating this object class? and never
need to change again?
- Every time when changes to getter and setter method in this
class?
- if didn't create it at very first place, generate UID in the
middle of writing this class is ok?

Thanks,
Jimmy
