Salut,

I would like to propose we merge the new ExecutorService branch to trunk
for inclusion in the upcoming 1.9.0 release. We will continue supporting
1.8.6.x for peoples that were using the Pipeline interface (on demand
support) for a couple of months, but we will strongly recommend they
move. In short, we will:

+ remove Pipeline, all the set/getPipeline
+ replace with set/getThreadPool and ExecutorService support.

[ ] Yes
[ ] No

I haven't measured any performance regression. In case we found some in
GlassFish, we will release as fast as possible 1.9.1.

Thanks!
