Eddie Epstein commented on UIMA-1223:
-------------------------------------

Initializing an aggregate service failed with the stack below.
It appears that this is due to a thread synchronization problem with the 
unregisteredDelegateList.
Jerry, please see TODO questions associated with this change.

> It is more convenient if an annotator is initialized on the same thread that 
> it is later called on.  Some components may use thread-local data and they 
> won't work in UIMA-AS currently.  Another advantage of doing the 
> initialization in the processing thread is that you could initialize multiple 
> instances of the annotator in parallel instead of sequentially, which may be 
> faster for a multi-core machine.
