[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3144) Final methods preclude some useful Hibernate extensions

[Eduardo Born (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3144?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=38874#action_38874 ] 

Eduardo Born commented on HHH-3144:
-----------------------------------

This is my way too, very hard to workaround since the only way to override these methods is to create a proxy and make bytecode modifications to it. The fix really doesn't take more than 30 seconds, and making these 3 methods non-final would definitely be enough to enable many user extensions to these collections.

Please consider fixing.
