Description
This bug is producible with IE.
Java console is not getting opened when tried to open from browser's tools menu. 

Steps :
1) Install jre 1.6.0_10 b08
2) Enable next-generation plugin from Java control panel, advanced tab.
3) Load an applet on IE (http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.5.0/demos/applets/MoleculeViewer/example1.html)
6) If Java console pops up (checked in JCP) while loading the applet, close it.
7) Try to open the console from the menu bar of the browser. Tools --> Sun Java Console

Nothing happens, the console does not come up....

Tested on
WindowsXp, Windows Vista and with the borwsers IE6 as well as IE7.

Comments
EVALUATION We are currently planning to move away from the Java Console menu option in the browser in favor of using the Java icon in the system tray to enable the Java Console for an individual attached JVM instance in the browser. Downgrading to P4.
