No, when a bundle is started, no new thread is created.

When you create a bundle that contains a BundleActivator, the  
framework will invoke the start() method when your bundle is started.

It is not uncommon for a bundle to spawn a thread itself (in the start 
() method). Make sure you clean it up again in the stop() method.
