So that is Java out then as a language to use for corporate software development activity. Way back when I was running a company or two, I put in place "you can't access the internet directly for dependencies" system, more to lower bandwidth use than security it has to be said. So we bought another disc and mirrored the repository – but not slavishly, just the bits we needed and with various scans and tests to try and stop any rogue software. This seemed to be the standard sort of behaviour back then.
