[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Use AspectJ aspects for implementing backward compatibility in XWiki

[Vincent Massol]

Hi,

I'd like us to agree on using the strategy described here:

This has several advantages:

1) Keeps our code clean
2) Put all backward compatibility code in a single place which makes  
it easy too to remove when the time has come

Here's my +1

If we agree I'll do a try of using this approach for moving out the  
deprecated methods in the XWiki class into an aspect. It should be a  
piece of cake since we already have the aspectj plugin in place for  
the core build.

Thanks
-Vincent
