What applications use Java on a desktop?
<p>I get the "There's a update for Java" notification on my computer. And as its a security update, I feel like I should get the new update and each time, I need to go through an installation process and stuff and it gets tedious?</p>

<p>I was wondering, what software typically uses Java on a desktop? Is it just those java applets? Cause hardly any websites have them these days. Do I need these updates? Do I need Java at all? Should I just uninstall Java?</p>
