167474 - Allow manual unloading of Java / unload on disabling

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, enhancement)

Description

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

Not really version specific, all version under Linux.

The Java plugin is a very big thing which is not all that stable. It also
consumes lots of memory (bug 85319). So it would be desirable to unload it
(question comes up about UI. It should unload when disabling Java in the
preferences anyways.

This bug is blocked by bug 102474, which says, that killing Java takes Mozilla
with it. It is not a dupe, since this one asks about unloading from within Mozilla.

This bug here is similar to bug 115450, which asks for automatic unloading and
hence is different from this one.

Finally, bug 153001 is more general, not only about Java AFAICS.

Mass-closing bugs in the "OJI" component: OJI plugin integration was replaced with npruntime long ago, and these bugs appear to be irrelevant now. If there is in fact a real bug that remains, please file it new in the "Core" product, component "Plug-ins".
