Error when embedding the plugin inside java

Question

I have IE wrapped inside java, and when IE loads a page with java, I get the error message "Attachment to a running Virtual Machine failed." I guess the plugin gets confused by the allready running VM.
Do I need to supply some hooks for the plugin?
My code is a http://nothome.com/IEcanvas/

My organization is also trying to embed IE 6.0 inside of a Java application using the IECanvas code, http://www.nothome.com/IECanvas/. That code was derived from work done at The Code Project, http://www.codeproject.com/java/javacom.asp.
We are attempting to use the Java 1.4 release candidate with this code. Everything seems to work well, until IE attempts to load a Web page that has an imbedded Java applet that requires the Java Plugin. We have insured that IE is calling the exact same version of Java, version 1.4, when loading the plugin. Unfortunately, when the Java plugin starts loading, the error "Attachment to a running Virtual Machine failed" is presented in a dialog box titled "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4 Fatal Error".
After this IE asks if the user wishes to install the Java 1.4 plugin. Essentially, no Java 2 applets will work in IE once it is embedded in our Java application.
I have done some research, and discovered that it should be possible to run more than one instance of the Java Virtual Machine in the same process space. I would like it if someone knows how to force the Java plugin to start a new Virtual Machine instance instead of trying to connect the the already running instance in the encompassing Java application.
Thanks!
