Looks like there's a change there (value of interfaceClass) I had  
thought went in before 2.0.1 was shipped.  The interfaceClass  
variable now refers to the interface you get when you do a lookup, so  
the EJBHome, EJBLocalHome or business interface such that if you set  
your jndiname format to simply "{interfaceClass}" and did something  
like this in code:

     MyHome home = (MyHome) ctx.lookup(MyHome.class.getName());

It would work.  Or if you wanted to implement a java generic service- 
locator in you could set your jndiname format to something like  
"{ejbName}/{interfaceClass}" you could do:

     public <T> T getComponent(String ejbName, Class<T> type) {
         return (T)ctx.lookup(ejbName+"/"+type.getName());
     }

     MyHome home = getComponent("FooBean", MyHome.class);

You get the idea.

Anyway, it's up to us how we want to deal with this in Geronimo.   
It's actually possible for us to replace this part of the system and  
plugin in something that does whatever we like.  We could go with the  
change now and warn users, we could grab a copy of the old formatter  
and plug it in replacing the updated formatter and use it till 2.0.x  
is done (or longer i guess), or provide some other custom option.

(fyi, all of this is doable with trunk or 3.0-beta-1)

Anyone have any preferences or thoughts?
