Thanks for your report. I'm able to reproduce this on both Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.5. It looks like it's caused by a bug (as yet unidentified) that I introduced in JEP 0.9.5+b (since earlier versions aren't effected). It also seems to be the same bug that was reported at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329457#c9. I'll be working on this. By the way, you should always test with the most recent version of the Java Embedding Plugin (currently 0.9.5+d) ... even though in this case it wouldn't have made any difference. I didn't notice this bug because I don't often use Apple's Java Console. Here's an alternative way to view Java errors, which is what I actually use most of the time (and which I prefer): The JEP always writes Java errors to the ~/Library/Logs/Java Console.log file (i.e. to the Java Console.log file in the Library/Logs/ directory under your home directory). You can use the Console utility (in Applications : Utilities) to view changes to this file in real time, by doing the following: Choose "Open" from the Console's "File" menu, then browse to ~/Library/Logs/Java Console.log and open it.

DAMN!!! So this is why FireFox and Bon Echo crash everyday for me! This really really sucks for a java developer on the Mac (not that I am doing much applet developing at this time, but will again in the future). Please fix this ASAP!

I've just released a new version (0.9.5+e) of the Java Embedding Plugin that fixes this bug: http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/ Please follow the Readme's instructions to install the JEP to your /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and to remove older copy(ies) of the JEP from your Mozilla.org browser(s).

This bug should be FIXED, right? (I can't find a "java console" to open anywhere to test.)

The "Java Console" is what you see when you choose "Show console" or "Use Java console" in the "Java Control Panel" (e.g. Applications : Utilities : Java : Java 1.4.2 Plugin Settings or Applications : Utilities : Java : J2SE 5.0 : Java Preferences). Yes, this is fixed.
