title: Why is Java labeled as a "secure" language?
body: <p>I guess this is a general question, but I am going through introductory courses to java (SE/ME) and the study material claims that java is often used for "security purposes". It does not explain however what they mean by claiming that java incorporates good security. </p>
  
  <p>Is it hacker proof? Does it produce highly stable software? What? </p>
  
  <p>Security from my point of view (at the moment) is that it's in the hands of the developer writing the code, not the language itself?</p>
