It is using over 400MB virtual memory. Any help shutting this down?
When opened in Finder this is the thread:

Same exact issue. I just ran the latest OS updates this morning, and am now stuck with "bin" running in my dock, and also using around 400mb of real memory according to Activity Monitor. If I try and quit, it just reopens again...
FYI - I re-installed Java and it seemed to take care of my issue for now.
hi,
we have the same problem on our 2007 Imac running Snow Leopard. After a recent sorftware update a bin file relating to Java appeared in the dock that can't be turned off, deleted and prevents turing off the computer. Force quit menu can't even shift it! I shut the machine down by holding the power button but on restart it's gone from the dock but still prevents the machine form shutting down normally.
You say reinstaling Java fixed it...how do you do this as a new software update won't let you reinstall anything that's already been downloaded?
thanks in advance..

I have the same issue.
@bwill0602, could you specify which Java you reinstalled?
I wish I could help but I asked my IT guy to do it and he took care of it. I will try to get answers from him
I too have the same problem. However I contacted Apple Supprt and had to reinstall a disk, but now I can't remember which one. This happened a month ago and came back again today. Frustrated!!
I have this same issue. I managed to get rid of it a week or so ago, but now have updated to Mavericks and it has reapplied.
When I updated to Mavericks, the installer wanted me to insall a copy of Java in order to make sure the Adobe apps such as Dreamweaver would work. This overwrote/updated the previous version of Java 1.6 which I had successfully got functioning correctly. I thought I had deleted some preference files to get rid of this annoyance in the past, but now can't recall what I removed and reset!
running java -version in Terminal shows Java is found and appears to be functional.

I just logged on to a Minecraft world and with mods then without and now again. I deleted all my downloads of anything on my computer but it still wont let me just take it out of my dock.😕
