Hi, Some of my work (some android development stuff) requires me to have java 6 and java 7 to be installed on my Mac. I'm not a pro in java or android development. I'm worried about the security level of my mac as I have read that java creates security holes. Is disabling java internet plugin from Safari enough to avoid any security issues that the java installations could cause?
Got a tip for us?

Yes it is. You can have Java installed for use by local Java apps without enabling the Internet plugin and you will be fine.
