Chrome configure has been part of test coverage. What applet(s) did Pogo have the issue with?
13-05-2013
How about testing on Chrome Browser? Pogo had reported some games hangs, and Java crashes, but browser itself does not crash.

EVALUATION to allow 7u6 to load the risk applet, pogo needs to either increase heap size to workaround; or make their applet do not depend on re-using the same JVM. Please note that tuning the heap size is just a workaround. Solution is to stop relying on reuse of the same JVM for multiple applets. We can not guarantee it will not start failing again if they will stick to existing approach on relying on reuse of the same JVM for multiple applets.

EVALUATION problem: pogo risk game applet fail to load with 7u6 builds. we suspect it because we launch new jvm to run applet for the following cases, and their applets depend on all applets running in same jvm. 1. PluginMain.java, StartAppletListener appletSSVValidation, we have this code: if (selectedVersion.equals(runningVersion)) { with beta builds, for example, we compare between 1.8.0 and 1.8.0-ea, so we try to fire un-necessary jvm relaunch because of this. 2. JVMHealthData.java, isHealthy, when we make sure available heap size is okay: getAvailableHeapSize(): 25886008 HEALTHY_AVAILABLE_HEAP_SIZE: 33554432 then we try to kill the unhealthy jvm and relaunch: Relaunch due to unhealthy JVM: { healthy: false, ageSeconds: 34, availableHeapKB: 14799, appletThreads: 21 } fix: For 1, we ignore anything after '-' in the java.version value. For 2 - we think it's better to ask pogo to increase their max heap setting to 256 instead (from 128 now).
