Using the features of Selenium 1.0 with Selenium 2.0 code

I recently posted about doing a screen capture on exception. This got me thinking about how I can maximize the browser window before I do the screen capture. In Selenium 1.x I would use:

Selenium sel = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://www.google.com");
    sel.windowMaximize();

But how do I do this using WebDriver? The solution is to use a WebDriver instance to create a WebDriverBackedSelenium instance. Here is the code:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    Selenium sel = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://www.google.com");
    sel.windowMaximize();

and it is that simple. If I want to use Selenium 2.0 features, I access things via the driver variable. If I want to use Selenium 1.0 features, I access things via the sel variable.

Quite simple.
