The full version string for this update release is The version number is In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change. This document includes descriptions of those new features and enhancements that are also changes to the specification.
The descriptions also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK Complete release notes here. Java SE 16 Download. Last updated:. Java applications can be embedded in web pages, cell phones, industrial controls, household thermostats, even coffee makers. So you will run into Java often.
Java is touted as a secure computing environment, one that makes it difficult for bad guys to snoop, cripple, or take over your computer. The Java runtime forces all Java programs to run in what's called a "sandbox", a portion of computer memory to which they are strictly confined. In the sandbox, a program cannot do certain things without the user's explicit permission - like read your email or format your hard drive.
But a sandbox takes up space. Java sets up this sandbox in a "virtual machine" which consumes considerable computing resources. The amount of resources required varies according to the needs of a given Java application. A mortgage calculator won't slow your overall computing down noticeably. It's true that a serious flaw was recently discovered in Java. And yes, many voices have been calling on users to remove or at least disable Java as a result.
However, a Java update is available that fixes this issue. If you download the latest version of Java see link above , you can continue to use Java safely. Or maybe not I'll agree that the usage of Java seems to be waning on the Web. Other development tools, notably HTML5, are gaining in popularity, but I still regularly encounter sites that use it. You may come across online games, financial calculators and other applications that prompt you to run a Java applet on a web page.
If you are sure that you never use any websites that need Java, I do recommend that you remove or disable it. Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and most other Web browsers let you enable and disable Java at will in their "Options" settings. If you do use or encounter a website that requires Java, chances are you can find an alternative that doesn't.
If you need to use a Java app for work, or there's just no good alternative, be sure to always keep your Java software updated. If you want to keep Java for that "just in case" option, or one specific trusted site, I recommend that you disable it in your everyday web browser, and use a second Java-enabled browser just for those apps that require it.
For example, if you use Google Chrome or Firefox primarily, disable it there, and let it stay enabled in Internet Explorer. When you need to use a Java app, fire up IE, run the app, then return to your primary browser.
I also suggest you read Leo Notenboom's excellent article on the Java security mess , for some additional background, and tips on dealing with the issues. This article was posted by Bob Rankin on 14 Jan Posted by: Joseph B Fischer 14 Jan As an example, you suggest enabling Java in Internet Explorer, and only using it when needed.
Internet Explorer itself sometimes has unpatched security holes. I would suggest not ever using Internet Explorer, unless a particular web site requires it. It you need to run Java, run it with a different web browser.
This is particularly true if you are still running Windows XP and can't use the latest version of Internet Explorer. IE is at least as secure as any of the other majors. I might have said differently 8 or 10 years ago, but things have changed for the better with IE. Posted by: Stuart Berg 14 Jan You forgot to mention that there are computer based i. I know because, when I uninstalled Java, one of my PC programs stopped working. Since I don't need Java in my browser, I reinstalled Java but disabled it in my browsers.
Now my PC application is happy! Posted by: Kay 14 Jan I keep getting a pop up that says "Java Scrips has crashed" Most of the time I can continue with no problem but sometimes my computer locks up Is that related to the Java??
No relation to Java, despite the similar name. Posted by: Ed 14 Jan
