It seems every other week Oracle releases an update for Java and I get this wonderful pop up:
Comparing the amount of updates Java releases to every other software installed on my computer, Java puts out more updates than the rest combined.
Is there a reason for this ? Or are they just trying to be the most updated platform ?

You can see all updates in the change log, for example for the Java 8 Runtime it's available here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8all-relnotes-2226344.html
Obviously they aren't fixing bugs for kicks. It's so that there are less errors in the software.

i used JRebel for few days...but using eclipse Kepler version i did not feel much difference in program execution and Project build, i followed same procedure as they mentioned on their official website. Does JRebel really improve programming efficiency ?
I think this question might get closed as it is very generic but if it doesn't then I think JRebel does not speed up build time or execution but allows classes to be updated on the fly. This can negate the need for server restarts in web development and it is here where JRebel will save time (the time it takes to restart and redeploy an application once a class file is changed.
There is a nice video here

What java version is more stable/safe to be used in new projects, 6 or 7? I noticed both of them have had security fixes last months.
Thanks
Java 6 is EOF (End Of Life) and is not getting any other update and security fixes since February 2013. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
Java 7 is the way to go unless you have technical constraints.

but of strange question here, but i have an existing windows product developed with .net framework and i want to create an equivalent for java - i don't want to use mono
Java will actually execute on every platform that has a JVm, anyway to lock this down?
I don't want it to be runnable on windows for example.
With regards to mono, i have nothing against it but Java seems to have more compatible libraries. Anyone have any comments on this?
You can use System.getProperty("os.name")to detect the operating system in the main method, then exit the application if it's not what you expect.

Sun's bug database for Java allows you to vote for up to 3 bugs.
Where can I send feedback that 3 bugs is not enough? (seems like a bug in the bugtracker)
They've left bugs unfixed for years that do not have reasonable workarounds. I'd like to be able to vote for more + have no idea how to push that.
Oracle has said that the existing bug database will be replaced with a JIRA for OpenJDK in 2012: OpenJDK bug database JIRA pilot. The existing bug database probably won't be improved any further. You can provide feedback on the JIRA features on the OpenJDK mailing list
