Related to this: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBDEPLOY-19 There's some code/test I'm going break relating to shutdown and single deployment. It was DeployerSingleDeploymentTestCase::testMultiThreadsAndShutdown() This is incorrect behaviour. The shutdown should not be blocked by a deployment, it were it could "deadlock" the shutdown when the deployment is misbehaving (e.g. a broken service that is waiting on a socket forever because of a network split) I'm going to remove this test. The test actually suffers from a race anyway. The deployment threads (as written currently) could run after the shutdown thread gets the lock which means the test would fail.
