Bug Description:
This is not a bug, but it is a problem. When an application
implemented in Java is run several times, several processes
running the Java Virtual Machine are run. Each of them loads
a private, non-shared copy of the bytecode of JRE classes.
E.g. if the application has a Swing GUI, the bytecode of
Swing, which is very large, is loaded several times instead
of being shared as it is the normal case with C/C++.
This makes the use of Java prohibitive for applications which
are meant to run on multi-user servers. The problem occurs also
on Personal Computers since even a single user could run two
applications implemented in Java.
This is a critical problem for xxxxx .
Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
Run any demo app based on Swing and see the amount of
memory used.
