Thanks Noel & Thomas, That was the re-assurance I was hoping for.
Since my original post I've seen a LibreOffice post pointing out that the US Homeland Security issued a warning last January, about Java being a security risk. This appears to be the main reason why the LibreOffice people are moving away from Java. I did a bit of research on this and it seems that the area of concern is the use of Java in Web Browsers. The JRE is apparently not at risk, so I'm thinking that Java in an H2 environment is also not a risk, except perhaps where a Server is being accessed over the Web. My applications are stand alone single user, so there should be no issues there.
