I'll see what I can find out. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know off the top of my head what in our suite of applications depends on Java.

Subject: [AE] Kinda [OT] - Java

 

Sorry for the OT, but this does relate to Adobe, sort of, and this is a great list to ask.

 

Every few weeks, I get asked to update Java, especially on my Windows machine, and I always do--carefully, since I don't want to also install the deplorable Ask.com Toolbar. Today, for the first time in a while, I wondered "why"?

 

A few years ago, I recall that the Creative Suite still used Java for some important things, so we needed to keep it. Is this still true? I don't really think I need Java for much on the web.

 

Since Java is often a point of security weakness, can I simply live without it?

 

I look forward to your thoughts,

 

Brian
