Safe is an extremely relative term. If you mean safe as in people can't see your source code... .class files that JAVA creates are easy to decompile and look at the source code of, and .jar files are nothing more than .zip files. For safety from screwing up something bad in the program, java is generally safe and protects the programmer from accidentally reading an area of memory they don't have access to, etc. (memory management, garbage collector is done for you). If you mean safe as in safe to program in and learn, that Java won't go out of fashion any time soon, then it is very safe, as Java, as it updates, tries very hard to retain support for programs written in older versions of Java, and Java is not going anywhere anytime soon, it is a major language with over 3,000,000 devices running it.
