 This sample is an example usage of DM composite components. A composite component is implemented
 using a composition of multiple object instances, which are used to implement a given complex
-service. Here, we define a "Provider" service, which is implemented by three object instances:
-ProviderImpl, ProviderParticipant1, ProviderParticipant2.

+The Activator you will find in this example registers a ComponentExecutorFactory in the OSGi service
+registry to enable parallel activation of (some or all) components 
 
-The Activator you will find in this bundle registers a ComponentExecutorFactory in the OSGi service
-registry to enable parallelism. DependencyManager core will use the Executor returned by the
-ComponentExecutorFactory in order to handle components dependencies/lifecycle callbacks
-concurrently.
+DM uses a whiteboard pattern approach in order to handle components concurrently: your application has to register a ComponentExecutorFactory in 
+the registry and DM will use it when deciding if components must be started concurrently (or not). By implementing yourself a ComponentExecutorFactory, 
+you are allowed to first decide if a given component should be started concurrently, and also choose the threadpool you like, 
+possibly a standard jdk threadpool, or some other advanced queuing libraries, like "hawtdispatch" ...
 
-Important note: since we are using the DM API to declare our threadpool, we have to disable
-parallelism for our "org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.samples.tpool.ThreadPool" component. 
-To do so, we define the following OSGi service property (see the bnd.bnd configuration file):
+The ComponentExecutorFactory has a single method:
 
-->
+    /**
+     * Returns an Executor used to handle and start the given component, or null if the component must be started synchronously.
+     */
+    public Executor getExecutorFor(Component component) {
+    }
+    
+To indicate that DM should "wait for" a ComponentExecutorFactory before starting to handle any components, then you have to declare 
+in the bundle context properties the following parameter:
 
-org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.parallelism=!org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.samples.tpool,*
+    org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.parallelism=*
 
+Using the above property will ensure that DM cache any added DM components until ComponentExecutorFactory is available from the OSGi registry.
+Hence, using the above property avoids you to use start level service in order to make sure all components are started concurrently, even if the
+bundle containing your ComponentExecutorFactory service is started lastly.
+
+Finally, if you want to start all components in parallel, except some; then you can specify the list of packages to be excluded like this:
+
+    org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.parallelism=!package.to.exclude,*
+
+Here, components having a package that is starting with "package.to.exclude" won't be started concurrently.
+
+Now, let's describe the example: it registers a ComponentExecutorFactory that only makes concurrent components 
+which provide a "parallel=true" service property (you can specify a service property even if the component does not register any services).
+Since we define ComponentExecutorFactory using DM API, we also have to disable parallelism for it, by declaring its package in the following parameter from 
+the bundle context properties:
+
+   org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.parallelism=!org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.samples.tpool.executor,*
+   
+To start the example, click on "tpool.bndrun" descriptor and run it.
+You will then see:
+
+Starting Component Component 1 current thread=Thread[main,5,main]
+Starting Component Component 2 current thread=Thread[main,5,main]
+Starting Component Parallel Component 3 current thread=Thread[pool-3-thread-1,5,main]
+Starting Component Parallel Component 4 current thread=Thread[pool-3-thread-2,5,main]
+
+Here, the Component 3 and 4 are started in the threadpool, while the Component 2 is started synchronously from the main thread.
