Java criticism valid?

  Asked By: Demyan    Date: Jun 04    Category: Java    Views: 606
  

What's the story behind this...?

"We are giving away our Java Classes because Java is too unstable and is a
security risk for many visitors these days. We will not support any of these
free Java Classes."

My guess is, it's more than just technology.

These days  all companies are focusing on a smaller core set of services to
save money and it may very well be that they have decided not to support
java for business reasons. (And thus choosen a quite ... ungraceful
explanation...)

A quick swoop of their site seems to indicate they are mainly focusing on
java-applets. I am not so familiar with java-applets but i have worked with
html and dhtml before and i've had reason to curse different browsers way
of interpreting things many times. I am guessing that they may have seen
incompatibilities in the implementation of java  in different browsers and
decided it is too much work to coordinate. But this is just a guess.

Here I'd like to add, in my world java is mainly a server side language for
web application development, so i have no reason to fear or even get too
invloved with any lacks in the implementation of applets... maybe this
changes one day and i realise some kind of problem but so far java works
well for me.

I am too ignorant on the security angle to give any input on that.

With the named Advance Business System displays a
website like that, you have to wonder the validity of
their claims.
