Moderators mta Posted June 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2013 Since the last discussion on this forum about Java (3 months ago?) I've been taking Java off whenever & where ever I see it in an effort to nut out any downside or software that still requires it. So far, so good. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

login123 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think I'll start keeping track of sites that require it . . .there've been very few since I uninstalled it years ago. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Winapp2.ini Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I only keep Java installed for parts of LibreOffice that need it and to run Minecraft and several other games occasionally.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2013 I think I'll start keeping track of sites that require it . . .there've been very few since I uninstalled it years ago. The only site I knew of years ago that required it was for Trend Micro HouseCall, that free online virus scanning service. Any other site that required it I would've never trusted, and software that requires it is antiquated to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Pogo.com requires Java for their games, and I think Runescape (browser MMO) does as well. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted June 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 23, 2013 My mother has some commercial cooking software that uses JRE it's supposedly the "newest" version of the cooking software but its horrifying to see the JRE they install with it is years old and vulnerable. It would've been smarter and safer if they had instead JRE from the official website so it could be updated regularly versus embedding that old version.

Guest Keatah Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 There's a few cool physics applets that unfortunately require java. So does my investment portfolio tracker. Thank heavens I've been able to keep it limited to those apps. They're apps I can trust and have used for years. Otherwise Java is a no-go on my systems. It's like so 2000-ish you know?

Guest Keatah Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Speakeasy.net broadband speedtest needs it too I believe. Java is one of those fad types of languages that burn hot for a year or two and then hopefully fizzle away. Levering everyone to wonder WTF?

TheWebAtom Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Java is one of those fad types of languages that burn hot for a year or two and then hopefully fizzle away. Levering everyone to wonder WTF? Java is still the most used programming language in Industry, at least in Australia. It's also the de facto standard for software engineering/computer science classes for (at least) the first two years. We may hate it, but Java isn't going anywhere. Not to mention Android, which almost exclusively uses Java for app development. To describe one of the most dominant languages of the past two decades as "a fad" borders on ridiculous. I'm Shane.
