Hello,
 
I have a question regarding the configuration property osgi.noshutdown
and the corresponding command line parameter -noExit. According to the
documentation for this property, "if "true", the VM will not exit after
the eclipse application has ended". We are launching Equinox from
command line, with osgi.noshutdown set to true in the configuration
file, and also with eclipse.ingnoreApp set to true. We want to have a
running framework, which is not executing any application. But still,
the framework terminates. Isn't this in odds with the documentation? 
 
In bug 183208 is described a similar case. It is commented there, that
the VM exits if there is no non-daemon threads running, and the
framework does not start such threads, and the bug is closed as
resolved. But then what is the osgi.noshutdown property for? Since the
framework exits, then the property does not do what it should. In this
case, how can we achieve running the framework with no application, and
without the -console option, if possible? 
 
Kind regards,
Lazar Kirchev
