Hi,
today I wake up finding Geoserver trunk did not compile due to
a change in referencing factory finder class name.

Now, I like the name change, as I despise having multiple classes with 
the same name in the same code base, but at the same time, that class 
was around since 2.0, so straight renaming it it's a compatibility break.

Shouldn't we use the trick of renaming the class, then creating an empty 
subclass with the old name, and marking it as deprecate for a release
cycle? (btw, refactoring the name was a good idea, since that way the
codebase does not use the old version).

On the bright side, the compatibility break made me update the Geoserver 
code base, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Cheers
Andrea
