Absolutely! Do yourselves a favour guys and don't use java on your
anonymous systems. If you have to have java at work, because your company
requires it for something, that's another story. But putting java on your
private system (where you're trying to do everything through Tor and be
anonymous), that's like shooting yourself in the foot.
