Re: [Springframework-developer] FW: package dependency

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

We _could_ duplicate the class in util, and make the class in core a 
subclass. I don't know of how much value that would be at this point 
though, since all the code in Spring that throws it would still have to 
throw the old version, so APIs would not break. It would probably 
confuse things like crazy.
