Hi Bill, > What about this huge Java security issue?
Please send a link, so we know which one you're talking about. If you are talking about the series of highly publicized applet vulnerabilities that have been reported since last fall [1], they only apply to applets. Running ImageJ as a desktop application, which is what most of us do, already grants permission for ImageJ to act on your behalf. In other words, desktop applications typically run with all permissions of the user (though that is no longer true on mobile platforms, which have more granular permissions systems). Note that the exploits being reported work by attackers crafting a special applet that escapes the Java sandbox to install malware. Running ImageJ as an applet from a trusted web site poses no issue. You can use a tool such as NoScript [2] to allow only specific trusted sites such as imagej.nih.govto run Java applets.
