I do have something against web applets that gratuitously access your

plugin, really should have default policies to block such behavior.)
I dislike them, too. It's somewhat of a risk to trust some application
to trawl through your drive, but it's an even bigger risk to let some
remote application do that.
Java is supposed to be sandboxed, as part of the "protect your computer"
security mindset. But I begin to doubt whether any browser actually
does that.
