[equinox-dev] Possible to use custom threadpool

["Olaf Bergner" <olaf.bergner@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

we are investigating the possibility to use Equinox as some kind of high-end
plugin container for a massive legacy J2EE app. Therefore, we are tasked
with embedding Equinox into our J2EE application server, i.e. BEA WLS 9.2.
Preliminary discussion with our operating team have revealed that an
embedded OSGi container must not spawn its own threads but rather use those
provided and managed by the WLS. This requirement is not to be relaxed,
period ;-)

This begs the question whether it is possible to tell Equinox to use an
external threadpool. I this possible out of the box, or what would be the
steps involved to make it possible?

Regards,
Olaf
