>             Project: Hibernate Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Final, 3.6.0.Beta1

> Hibernate 3.5.0 introduced a concurrent implementation for Statistics. Thus the classes of {{org.hibernate.stat.*}} became interfaces and lo and behold! a Java 5 concurrent implementation was born, and all rejoiced at this marvel.
> But in the land of compiled binaries, some said that a {{java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError}} would rear its ugly head since where a Class was expected an Interface would appear, and so the current thread would stop its processing with an Error.
> And it was said in the kingdom of Hibernate that documentation was forthcoming that everyone should re-compile their dependant 3rd-party libraries, whether one could access the 3rd-party sources or not.
> In an ironic twist, now that Hibernate 3.6 depends on Java 5, we still have the non-concurrent implementation lying around unused...
> All prose apart, this bug means I can not distribute a {{.jar}} that is compiled against Hibernate 3.1 and that works for all released Hibernate versions. I don't want impose my users the hassle to re-compile (even if I provide the source code), but I guess this 3.5.0 change leaves me no choice... This should at least be clearly documented.
