FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
When consumers run an applet within a browser and a JVM crash occurs, a text file appears on the desktop. The text file is named hs_err_pidxxxx.txt (example: hs_err_pid976.txt). The content of this text file is too technical for consumers to understand. Even worse, the log does not include any instruction as to the reason of the crash and where to submit the crash log.

Consumers are submitting these log files via java.com. They are pasting the content of the log file into the incident. They have no idea as to what to do next.

JUSTIFICATION :
As of 2005-08-22, there are 274 incidents related to this RFE. Total: 274.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A message is displayed at the command prompt when an application crashes. The message informs users that a crash had occurred and asks users to go to webbug's website to submit the crash log. This message should also be included in the log file when an applet crashes.

The following should be implemented:
1) When the JVM crashes during the execution of an applet, the first line in the log file should contain a consumer friendly message:
"Java Runtime Environment crashed because of an error"
2) Include a link to "HotSpot Virtual Machine Error Reporting Page". This will submit an incident to Incident Manager.
