Agreed..  I was wondering about that - For desktop applications, it seems to
me Java is basically another programming language available.  I'm not sure if
there would be any extra security risk to running a desktop app just because
it's written in Java.  If anything, I'd think there might be less security
risk because Java apps run in a VM.  I'm not sure how Java apps would put your
system at risk more than apps written in other languages.
