--------------------------------------
Summary: ThreadExpiringThreadPool is relying on uncaught
exceptions to kill threads
Key: SLING-6261
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6261
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Commons
Affects Versions: Commons Threads 3.2.6
Reporter: Konrad Windszus
In {{o.a.s.commons.threads.impl.ThreadExpiringThreadPool}} a
{{RuntimeException}} with message "Kill old thread" is used in
{{checkMaxThreadAge(final Thread thread)}}. This leads by default to a
suspension of the thread when debugging with Eclipse (as since Neon JDT will
suspend the thread on all uncaught exceptions). More information is available
in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6290470/eclipse-debugger-always-blocks-on-threadpoolexecutor-without-any-obvious-excepti.
There should be a different mechanism to kill the thread than an uncaught
exception.
