Description

JSPWiki 2.9 uses the new org.apache.wiki package names.

If you have a bunch of wiki pages with plugin invocations that include the old (com.ecyrd.jspwiki) package name, this will now fail.
So for example :

Index Page 

[{com.ecyrd.jspwiki.plugin.IndexPlugin}]

The suggestion is to patch the PluginManager to handle this by replacing the old package name by the new one.
See attached patch.

What do you think ?
