public class KeepAliveService
extends AbstractService

The keep-alive automation server is a service that serves as an RMI server entry point into an automation server instance and provides access without having to launch a new Eclipse instance each time a service is required. This is basically a meta-service that helps maintain the automation server while keep-alive is required. This service starts up the RNI server appropriately and then keeps a monitoring thread alive that shuts down the automation server after a given timeout is exceeded. The timeout neglects the time taken to execute the service. The timeout should be compared against the time since the end of the service invocation to the beginning of a new service request. This means the background timer thread will be disabled as a request comes in to the automation server and reset at the end of the invocation.
