I'm baffled by this statement. You seem to be drawing comparisons between Flash and Java when Flash's use cases would describe about 10% of the use cases of Java. Are you referring to Java in the browser only? Or are you referring to all Java? In the world of non-browser software, the statement that Java is perceived as "insecure" is simply not true.
