Rob Walker resolved FELIX-363.
------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Committed a fix which should ensure:
- m_thread is nulled out whenever run() exits regardless of reason
- also checks whether m_thread.isAlive() to handle cases where thread is killed
but not detected internally, and m_thread doesn't get nulled out.
> Forceable termination of Felix instance leaves global EventDispatcher in
> non-restartable state

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Framework
> Reporter: Rob Walker
> Assignee: Rob Walker
>
> FELIX-314 fixed an issue where internal shutdown of the global
> EventDispatcher thread left Felx in a state where new instances could not be
> started within the same VM at a later time.
> It seems in an Applet VM environment using JRE 1.6 and IE7 there is a
> variation on this case where the Applet VM is forcibly killing VM threads not
> cleanly terminated by the application itself e.g. a sloppily written Applet
> (like ours!) which launched a Felix instance in the start() but didn't shut
> it down in the stop().
> Such a forceable termination is not tracked or detected, and hence leads to a
> similar inability to start additional Felix instances as was being seen in
> FELIX-314
