patriknw d85f8d74b8 Merge pull request #134 from jboner/wip-1404-memory-leak-patriknw
Fixed several memory and thread leaks. See #1404
* Dispatchers need Scheduler to be able to shutdown themselves. Stop Scheduler after dispatchers.
* Changed CallingThreadDispatcher global object to Extension, since it holds map of references to mailboxes. Will be GC:ed when system is GC:ed.
* Made testActor lazy, since it is not used in all tests, and it creates CallingThreadDispatcher.
* Activated some java tests that were not running
* Many tests were not stopping created ActorSystems. VERY IMPORTANT TO STOP ActorSystem in tests. Use AkkaSpec as much as possible.
* Used profiler to verify (and find) dangling ActorSystemImpl and threads from dispatchers.
* FutureSpec creates ForkJoinPool threads that are not cleared, but number of threads don't grow so it's not a problem.

h1. Akka

We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.

Akka is here to change that.

Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications.

For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash":http://letitcrash.com model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heal, systems that never stop.

Actors also provide the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
