The Java language itself is not a problem, but a Java Runtime Environment is essentially an operating system. It has most of the potential for security holes of any other operating system. Oracle have been fixing holes at every quarterly update, and a few times a year as emergency patches between the quarterly updates. I no longer have Java on my own systems: I don't need it badly enough to be worth the trouble.
