Is Java safe to be installed on my Mac now?

I want to install the open source software called Sweet Home 3D. Sweet Home 3D : Download



One thing though is that it requires Java. You can download an installer that will install Java for you.

If you don't want to care about the Java configuration of your system, click on the following link to download an all-in-one Sweet Home 3D installer bundled with Java if necessary:

I am on 10.9.2 and with all the Java issues from not to long ago I never worried because I didn't have Java installed.



Are there issues still? What precautions should I take to keep it up to date and keep my mac safe?



Thanks
