I think that is a good thing. Five minutes of preventative paranoia is 
better than two or three days of repair work.

Why do you think the JRE is not secure?

Are there published advisories against it?

Has it a history of insecurity?

Generally.

You use some nouns and adjectives in a funny, non-standard way that leaves 
one guessing what you want them to mean.

The academics say there are lots of "irregular" verbs, but these "strong" 
verbs in fact do follow definite patterns. It's a case of learn which 
words use what pattern/congigation.

There are, however, a small number of genuinely irregular verbs which used 
to follow a pattern, and which still mostly do follow their patterns in 
older litterature, but they have changed one or more of the tenses, or 
completely changed the pattern they follow.

An example is the word "help" which in classical Shakespearian English 
follows the pattern "help, holp, holpen", and in modern English follows 
the pattern "help, helped". (you will notice the older pattern is easier 
to pronounce)

I could go on, but this list is not the place for that subject.
