Uninstalling Java

The majority of us now have no need for Java to be installed on our computers.  I will be automatically removing Java from your computers via the server, and no longer installing any updates from this point on for this software.   Either on Friday or Monday when you turn on your computer, while on the Cornell network, you should see Java uninstalling when your computer is booting up.

If you have a need for Java to be installed on your computer, please reach out to me or Christi at wsbnit@cornell.edu if you need assistance.
