Equinox classloader deadlock

On Equinox-based application deadlock appears sometimes on an internal classloader. I've found the issue on Equinox bug-tracker which describes my problem. But the fix is not complete for Java 6 or lower and the resolution for Java 6 is just a workaround: adding two VM options

-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+UnsyncloadClass

Also there is a Sun bug for native classloader() and the fix seems to be incomplete also. So the workaround is the only solution at the moment.

So the question is: does anyone have any troubles or issues connected with this workaround? Thanks in advance.

Been using those options with Sun(Oracle) based JVMs running Eclipse for years now. Have never had an issue that could be traced to them.

After few days of testing no issues were found with this workaround. So this workaround solved the problem.
