Rest In Hell, Java Plug-In

Good news from the world of online security: Oracle, developer of the Java plugin that has been making browsers insecure since 1995, has finally announced that it’s sending it six feet under.

The Java plugin isn’t dead immediately: it will be deprecated in the next release of the Java Developer Kit, which is a fancier way of saying Oracle will sweep it under the rug, and encourage people not to use it. The functionality will be “fully removed” in some later release, once everyone’s said their final farewells.

It’s a move that is entirely logical, and really too late. Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge have all either killed support for plugins, or announced that they’re going to do so in the near future, leaving no room to support the Java plugin.

 

More importantly, Java is a terrible blight on our computer security that must be stopped at all costs. Everyone from independent developers to the Department of Homeland Security have shit on Java for opening up access to a billion computers thanks to zero-day programming bugs. So long, Java; we won’t miss you.

I got rid of Java the moment I stopped caring about Minecraft, so good riddance I say.

I was recently tempted to re-install it because my local public transport system use Java of all things for their at-home Online ticket recharge thing. But opted against it. Wasn't worth it.

(Not to mention I would need to actually BUY the USB recharge station required for it.)

In their FAQ, they even have a very specific question

I do not want to install Java. Can I still use this website?

No, you must install and run Java to use the OPUS en ligne website. The Java component allows two-way communication between the website and the card reader, by way of your computer’s USB port.

Seeing this news that Java is essentially dead, buying the device would be foolish as it wouldn't work after a while anyway.

then say goodbye to minecraft, unless they get a way to overhaul it to run in a different language.

I would sacrifice minecraft to end java forever, that seems like a fair trade.
