It's unfortunate that a good software has so many bugs that to this date, the software vendor denies or pleads still no wrong doing. If your a user's who doesn't care too much about Java, your best option is to dump it. I can't even begin to tell you the stories on how many Java updates keep on patching these ongoing security holes. As for the new era of Java it looks slim. It's only a matter of time before something comes out and it's over for our big hole Java.
