I might of missed something, but it looked like (HEM trunk) is only 
calling getName() on the returned Class or Package.

If I'm correct, perhaps we could return just the names instead of the 
classes in a future Hibernate release (deprecate the methods that return 
Class/Package and introduce new methods that return class/package names).
