You do realize you're talking to one of the two people that monitors incoming executable files at WoWInterface, right? I'm the one that disassembles them and determines their safety (and yes, I have found things others have missed, for example that one famous executable that waited 30 minutes before sending information off, avoiding detection by others -- I was the one that said "It may look safe, but something doesn't seem right about this code" ... and sure enough I was right )

In any case, while I might agree Java is fairly trivial to disassemble, I'm one that argues so is any other language. Do you really think you'll take the time and effort to go look into a module before installing it?
