James / Excalibur ThreadPool conflict

Pete:

Have finally got to a point where I'm running James inside Merlin again.

But I'm gettig a rather odd exception.  The execution occurs after James 
is established and running (about 30 seconds after).  The exception 
(listed blow) is a NoSuchMethodError - raised when the JamesSpoolManager 
invokes excecute, passing itself as an argument. I looked into the 
sources and CVS history and discovered that 
org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.ThreadPool.execute() interface was 
changed by you about three months ago - retracting Runnable as a valid 
argument in favour of Executable.  It appears that this breaks James 
(based on the James HEAD and the current ThreadPool source.  What I 
don't understand is how James could be running inside Phoneix without 
problem unless nobody from James has executed a clean checkout of 
Excalibur in the last 3 months.

Can you or anyone else (Avalon or James) shead any light on this?

Cheers, Steve.
