I don't know of any, really. I haven't had the Java plugin in my browser 
for some time and didn't see any reason to need it anywhere. Actually, 
the only plugin (not add-on) I have installed is Flash, which 
unfortunately I still need for a few things.

After I heard that security issues in the Java plugin are not patched as 
regularly as one would hope, I feel even better with not running it, and 
I don't miss it.
