EventDispatcher class not reusable in same class loader for multiple Felix 
instances
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-314
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-314
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Framework
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger
             Fix For: 1.0.0


Consider this use case:

   Felix felix = new Felix();
   felix.start(props, null);
   felix.shutdown();

   felix = new Felix();
   felix.start(props, null);
   felix.shutdown();

The first Felix instance will stop the EventDispatcher by calling the static 
EventDispatcher.shutdown() method thus stopping the event dispatcher thread and 
setting the static variables stopping and stopped to true. The reference to the 
event dispatcher thread in the static variable m_thread is not cleared on 
shutdown.

The second Felix instance will create an EventDispatcher instance but the 
static fields are not reset. That is the event dispatcher is assumed to be 
stopped and the event dispatcher thread will not be newly created and started.

I will suggest a patch for this issue.
