Regardless of the above advantages, there is an ongoing debate in the Java community on whether statically compiled implementations can meet the Java specification on dynamic features such as binary ...

Abstract: Various static code analysis tools have been designed to automatically detect software faults and security vulnerabilities. This paper aims to 1) conduct an empirical evaluation to assess ...

In a previous Java 101 tutorial, you learned how to better organize your code by declaring reference types (also known as classes and interfaces) as members of other reference types and blocks. I also ...

Java is an object-oriented programming language. To create objects and meaningfully initialize them, a developer must use a Java constructor. Constructors are a critical part of software development ...

Abstract: The behavior of software that uses the Java Reflection API is fundamentally hard to predict by analyzing code. Only recent static analysis approaches can resolve reflection under unsound yet ...

Java adds a reference to a parent class, when having an inner non-static class, so there is no no-arg constructor. In this case a constructor with an only parent class argument should be used during ...

Ever wonder why Java's const keyword is unimplemented? More specifically, why do we mark global constants in Java with both the static and final keywords? Why are Java constants static and final? The ...
