I20100209-2300

In the automated tests from this build there is an NPE during shutdown. This doesn't impact usability of the build, but it should be cleaned up to avoid the NPE:

The basic problem here is that the engine bundle is shutting down before the repository bundle. We actually already have a bug for this so I'm marking it as a duplicate.
