[hibernate-dev] HSEARCH Dynamic proxy for FullTextSessionImpl, FTEMImpl

[Emmanuel Bernard]

It potentially changes every minor release (in particular the internal interfaces like SessionImplementor that we need to implement).

One of the benefits is that an old version of HSearch would work with the latest version of Hibernate Core including the new methods and we would not have to maintain an complex matrix of working versions.

But I agree it's mostly a development problem and I happen to be the one hitting it all the time :)
