Synopsis separate_jvm parameter should tear down target JVM more quickly
Category java_plugin:plugin2

Release Fixed 6u10(b22)

Description
The new separate_jvm applet parameter (see 6627835) is very useful for isolating an applet into its own JVM instance. However, the JVM instances used to start up these applets still use the same timeout mechanism for tearing down the JVM instance once the applet has exited as is used for JVM instances that are allowed to launch more than one applet. We need to shut down the JVMs used to launch isolated applets more quickly.

This issue was raised on the Java Plug-In forum:

Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
Added notion in the SetJVMIDMessage that the JVM has been started on
behalf of a single applet using the separate_jvm parameter. Tear down
JVM aggressively in PluginMain in this case to avoid both buildup of
stale system tray icons on Windows and unnecessary prolonged resource
consumption.
