    It depends on whether or not you trust the specific application that's running. Unfortunately, Zone Alarm is not smart enough to know which java app is trying to access the internet, it just knows that A java app is trying to access the internet.

    Generally, if you don't know what app it is, deny access. You can always allow it later if you realize your app is not running correctly (like limewire for example).
