well, may be so, but from reading things like this:

http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/22/4016582/after-so-many-hacks-why-wont-java-just-go-away
http://www.suntimes.com/technology/ihnatko/18340857-452/apple-hacked-and-java-is-the-weak-spot.html

and many other articles like it (simply go to google news and type Java,
you'll get screens full of nothing but bad news for Java),
I am scared to install it on my PC. I bought a new PC and made sure
it has no Java on it. So I un-istalled windows that came with it,
and did fresh install using my own windows OS disk that I bought
separately. This way I know what I have there ;)

If the problems were easy to fix with Java, they would have
been fixed by now.
