Java™ Coding Guidelines is written by the authors of The CERT® Oracle® Secure Coding Standard for Java [Long 2011]. That coding standard provides a set of rules for secure coding in the Java programming language.

These software systems can then be evaluated for conformance to the coding standard, for example, by using the Source Code Analysis Laboratory (SCALEeSCALe) [Seacord 2013]. However, there are poor Java coding practices that, despite not warranting inclusion in a secure coding standard for Java, can lead to unreliable or insecure programs. Java Coding Guidelines serves to document and warn against such coding practices.
