Removing Java can be a security decision, or a necessity when faced with conflicts caused by multiple versions. Truth be told, the Java module has never been one of the cleanest examples in software, and its cumulative updates have caused multiple problems. If you want to make sure that everything related to Java is removed from your computer in just a couple of steps, your first option is to download a copy of the program known as JavaRa.
Java. Its developers swear by the benefits of this language, while many security experts would like to see it dead and buried. In reality, the language itself is not to blame for anything; the problems arise from a combination of the Oracle virtual machine (also known as runtime environment or simply JRE), its plugin for browsers, and the applets that run on top of them. If this story sounds similar to what happens with Flash, well... let's say there are several common points. Of course, there is plenty of legitimate and stable software out there that needs the virtual machine, so it is imperative to keep it updated. Before going down that path, it is recommended to purge any trace of previous versions, which ultimately brings us to JavaRa.
The first time we talked about JavaRa was in 2008, but the project moved to the ranks of SingularLabs, a company we know for tools like System Ninja. JavaRa is divided into four main sections: update the virtual machine, uninstall and clean all its components, update the program definitions (which allow tracking more orphaned Java elements), and activate additional resources such as cleaning temporary JRE files, or blocking it from starting with the computer. JavaRa brings support for several languages (Spanish appears on the list), and it is completely portable, leaving aside any traditional installation.
Ironically, JavaRa requires the presence of .NET Framework on Windows, which many see as a direct rival to Java. Its latest stable version is 2.61, but riders of XP or even older platforms can download a copy of the “Legacy” edition. In short: if for some strange reason the Java virtual machine is causing problems, JavaRa will remove it entirely, leaving the way clear for a new installation... if that is what you want.
