some methods in eviction queue classes have package-only visibility - can it be changed?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCACHE-1169
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1169
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Eviction
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
            Reporter: dana enescu
         Assigned To: Manik Surtani
            Priority: Minor


I have been trying to implement my own cache eviction policy. The most convenient way for me was to extend LFU, instead of implementing the interfaces from scratch.
However, the ctor and the prune() method in LFUQueue have package-only visibility, so I had to do a nasty workaround. There may be similar issues in other classes of the eviction package. 

IMO it would be better that these methods are made either public or protected, depending on what you want to expose to the users. I did not report it as a bug but rather as a feature request, since I do not know the developer's intent.
