Currently when mistakenly we type a [Custom Constraint Validator class](http://symfony.com/doc/current/validation/custom_constraint.html#creating-the-validator-itself) or the "alias name" from [validator service](http://symfony.com/doc/current/validation/custom_constraint.html#constraint-validators-with-dependencies)  (which would occurs frequently for newcomers) is shown `ClassNotFoundException`:

> Attempted to load class "alias_name" from namespace "Symfony\Component\Validator".
Did you forget a "use" statement for another namespace?
500 Internal Server Error - ClassNotFoundException

**This PR tries to improve the error message when this happen.**

But I'm not sure about the exception class used ([`InvalidArgumentException`](https://github.com/yceruto/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/Exception/InvalidArgumentException.php)) : ?

*  [`ConstraintDefinitionException`](https://github.com/yceruto/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/Exception/ConstraintDefinitionException.php) would be another option, because the source of the error comes from the custom [`Constraint`](https://github.com/yceruto/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Bundle/FrameworkBundle/Validator/ConstraintValidatorFactory.php#L68) definition.

The text message more convenient from this little mistake: ?

* This mistake happen for two reason: FQCN or alias name supplied by constraint not found.
* The constraint validator service was declared incorrectly (missing alias)
* Perhaps some hint how the developer should resolve the mistake.

Maybe some documentation core member would help me ?

README

What is Symfony?

Symfony is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain websites with PHP.

Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.

Requirements

Symfony is only supported on PHP 5.3.9 and up.

Be warned that PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is not suitable to run Symfony (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)

Installation

The best way to install Symfony is to use the official Symfony Installer. It allows you to start a new project based on the version you want.

Documentation

The "Quick Tour" tutorial gives you a first feeling of the framework. If, like us, you think that Symfony can help speed up your development and take the quality of your work to the next level, read the official Symfony documentation.

Contributing

Symfony is an open source, community-driven project. If you'd like to contribute, please read the Contributing Code part of the documentation. If you're submitting a pull request, please follow the guidelines in the Submitting a Patch section and use Pull Request Template.

Running Symfony Tests

Information on how to run the Symfony test suite can be found in the Running Symfony Tests section.
