Java Plugin Problems

On Internet Explorer, there is a known bug with JavaScript -> Applet -> Another Applet -> JavaScript calls. Now, also, on Mozilla there is a problem with JavaScript -> Applet -> JavaScript calls. If an applet is marked as scriptable, then the Java Runtime falls into an indefinite loop checking the security before allowing JavaScript to call the Applet. This loop can take up to a minute to terminate. This happens with J2SE version 5.0 release candidate.

This is beginning to make Java Applet integration with JavaScript on the page awkward!
