EntityBinder should use full qualified class names instead of class names
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: ANN-377
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-377
     Project: Hibernate Annotations
        Type: Improvement

  Components: binder  
    Versions: 3.2.0.cr1    
 Environment: all
    Reporter: Thomas Weber


EntityBinder should use the full qualified class name to bind entities to simplify the use of entities with the same class name in larger projects. If the components of the project are from different developers the work-around with @Entity(name="someName") is not really useful, since it may not be possible to adapt the affected classes (i.e. if you do not have access to the source code)

The performance impact should be rather small since the String.equals(Object) method compares hashcodes first, so the String.length() is a minor factor for the speed of comparisons.
