Steven,
I don't think that Java is less secure than any other language. I
think that if Java is being used by someone that understands it, and
understands security than it can be secure. The majority of security
issues come from:
1-) Managers that rush developers due to VC pressure.
2-) Lack of security education in developers.
3-) Lack of motivation or even care to code securley.
I hope this helps..
