+A Word About ClassLoaders
+-------------------------
+
+In several places of the configuration file it is possible to specify the
+fully-qualified class name of something to be instantiated by Akka. This is
+done using Java reflection, which in turn uses a :class:`ClassLoader`. Getting
+the right one in challenging environments like application containers or OSGi
+bundles is not always trivial, the current approach of Akka is that each
+:class:`ActorSystem` implementation stores the current thread’s context class
+loader (if available, otherwise just its own loader as in
+``this.getClass.getClassLoader``) and uses that for all reflective accesses.
+This implies that putting Akka on the boot class path will yield
+:class:`NullPointerException` from strange places: this is simply not
+supported.

+Fault Handling in Practice

+First, let us look at a sample that illustrates one way to handle data store errors,

+on the actual application what is possible to do when the data store is unavailable,
+but in this sample we use a best effort re-connect approach.

+does not apply, leaving the possibility to specify an absolute upper limit on the
+restarts or to make the restarts work infinitely.
 
-Practical Application
----------------------
+Default Supervisor Strategy
+---------------------------
+
+``Escalate`` is used if the defined strategy doesn't cover the exception that was thrown.
+
+When the supervisor strategy is not defined for an actor the following
+exceptions are handled by default:
+
+* ``ActorInitializationException`` will stop the failing child actor
+* ``ActorKilledException`` will stop the failing child actor
+* ``Exception`` will restart the failing child actor
+* Other types of ``Throwable`` will be escalated to parent actor
+
+If the exception escalate all the way up to the root guardian it will handle it
+in the same way as the default strategy defined above.
+
+Test Application

 The following section shows the effects of the different actions in practice,
 wherefor a test setup is needed. First off, we need a suitable supervisor:

+
+Distribution of microkernel application
+---------------------------------------
+
+To make a distribution package of the microkernel and your application the ``akka-sbt-plugin`` provides
+``AkkaKernelPlugin``. It creates the directory structure, with jar files, configuration files and
+start scripts.
+
+To use the sbt plugin you define it in your ``project/plugins.sbt``:
+
+.. includecode:: ../../akka-sbt-plugin/sample/project/plugins.sbt
+
+Then you add it to the settings of your ``project/Build.scala``. It is also important that you add the ``akka-kernel`` dependency.
+This is an example of a complete sbt build file:
+
+.. includecode:: ../../akka-sbt-plugin/sample/project/Build.scala
+
+Run the plugin with sbt::
+
+  > dist
+  > dist:clean
+
+There are several settings that can be defined:
+
+* ``outputDirectory`` - destination directory of the package, default ``target/dist``
+* ``distJvmOptions`` - JVM parameters to be used in the start script
+* ``configSourceDirs`` - Configuration files are copied from these directories, default ``src/config``, ``src/main/config``, ``src/main/resources``
+* ``distMainClass`` - Kernel main class to use in start script
+* ``libFilter`` - Filter of dependency jar files
+* ``additionalLibs`` - Additional dependency jar files
