New to Java

Does anybody else think it inappropriate that a company as well respected as Oracle stoops so low as to try to trick you into installing a browser toolbar during Java installation or updates? This is the pinnacle skeevy behaviour. If this was some random bit of shareware, it would say "this is a scammer company, use this product was extreme caution or not at all" - so why do this, Oracle?

Seriously, I avoid putting Java on servers these days, unless it's absolutely necessary. I just don't trust it anymore.

Thanks for listening.
