This is a RFE to evaluate a more ideal plug-in behavior for IE 8 multi processes feature.
There are some interesting observation related to IE 8 that should be evaluated on how plug-in can be deployed in multi-browser-tab fashion
1) Case#1: Many Java consoles popped up and co-existed at the same time
When each tab of IE 8 invokes a different applet and all tabs are active at the same, users can see many Java consoles on the system (see attached screenshot for 7 co-existed java consoles)
The fact that each tab (running an applet) on a different process and hence different java console appeared. The point is that should we have a check and define the maximum number of java consoles which can be co-existed at the same time? From the user point of view, they might not be aware that they are opening many different processes as they only see one IE 8 browser (but with many different tabs)
2) Case#2: Can all the tabs in IE 8 use the same VM as in the case of how they work in IE 7?
