Running Java on RM Network Securely

[tony82]

Hi, I need to run Java JDK and an IDE for it on a School RM Network . Obviously the network manager does not want the kids running programs on the network.

 

Has anyone got any safe options I can pursue. The kids do not have to programatically access the network/access the internet, they could save their files to a Flash drive.

 

Your help is really appreciatted.

On second thoughts personally I would not have an issue with kids doing Java development on machines (but maybe I'm just biased as Java is my first language) You would have to be extremely stupid/sh*t hot to break the computer or the network

Surely the point of Java is that essentially it does run in a VM - MS used to call it that when they provided a Java implementation.

 

I'd say that Java is probably the best teaching language - as you say, it's pretty difficult to do anything malicious with it!
