64416 - Java VM is not destroyed with document

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[nicolas]

Everytime a page containing a java applet is loaded, a new instance of java_vm
appears in the task list, causing the machine to become slower after some time
(depending on the applets used), because of memory paging.

The problem is more that the java_vm doesn't go away when the page is no longer
displayed.

I put it in plugins as this looks like a bad cleanup of an instance.

To reproduce:
go to any page with a java applet, then browse to a different page (with no
java). Repeat this step a few times, then look at the task list "ps -x", and
notice the number of java_vm running.

As long as the browser is running, java_vm is suppose to run.  There is not a
one to one relationship between the VM and a single applet.  This is NOT a bug.
