Line 39:

I do not understand what is meant by the Criticism section when it states that Java necessarily uses "a user's IP address to allow Java to function." I've used Java for years, and don't know what this means. There is a bug opened on Java 1.5.0 through 1.5.9 (I believe) where calling some network functions tried doing a reverse DNS lookup on the remote IP address, but this was a bug that has been since fixed, not a feature of the langauage. There are plenty of valid critiques of Java, I just don't think this is one of them (factually). If not clarified, this section should be removed.

: I put a {{factTalkfact}} after the sentence, and I agree that it seems to be [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]] (and maybe false). I propose to delete the entire Criticism section (it contains only this sentence) if nobody is able to cite sources in a few days. Plus, even if there are sources, I think the sentence should be : clarified + put in the general [[Criticism of Java]] article. The sentence says exactly the contrary as a LOT of sources always say : Java is generally a secure language. [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] 21:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
