>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Framework
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
>            Reporter: Felix Meschberger
>            Assignee: 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.
