Mr> touch java.
I hightly doubt that the authors of the Miencraft server are going to put
malware in the Minecraft server to exploit your system.. Same with other
significant Java software such as Eclipse, Android Studio, etc.. From what
I've read about Java's possible insecurities, I imagine only people who like
writing viruses would be interested in exploiting Java vulnerabilities.
Back in the day, the runtime libries for the C and C++ programming languages
had their vulnerabilities too (particularly with things like buffer overflows,
etc.). Over the years they have been patched to prevent things like that. I'm
sure the Java VM & runtimes will be improved over time to prevent
vulnerabilities as well.
