I believe that allowing the use of reflection in Java was an unwise decision. It gives programmers tremendous power, but these classes and methods are much too dangerous in the hands of malicious programmers. At the very least, I would disable the reflection classes and methods in an applet context.

I no longer program for a living—can you explain what a reflection class is? I think I know, based on the name alone, but would appreciate an explanation.

Someone once explained RAM to me thusly;

Take a desk you want to work on and clear what you need to do that work
If you learn you need more space after doing what you've done so far, you take that phase of the projecrt off the desk (clearing the space again), go to the shelf you need to get the materiels you need to perform phase two and sit down to work on a clear desk.

THAT works for me (if it's correct)

Can you simplify what you just said for us non techies ?

I work a lot with server-side Java, but there is NO WAY I would advocate using Java in the browser.
