CERT Java Secure Coding Standard
Fred Long
The CERT/CC has added to their secure coding standards for the C
language and for C++ by developing secure coding standards for Java.
The site, available as a Wiki, is at:
https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/java/CERT+Java+Secure+Coding+Standard
The rules and recommendations are not globally editable, but anyone is
able at add comments.
We are depending on the active involvement of the Java community (you)
to make this effort a success. I invite you to participate in this
effort by reviewing content on the web site and providing comments, or
by contributing new rules and recommendations for secure Java coding.
These can be sent to me directly or to secure-coding at cert dot com.
Please review the web site and provide feedback.
Thanks,
Fred Long

Really? How?
Even after registering I don't find any link being offered to
do that.

Once you have registered you can log in to the site.
When you are logged in, you will see a link "Add Comment" at the bottom
of every page. Clicking on that link enables you to add a comment.
(You will not see that link if you are not logged in.)
I hope that helps,
Fred Long.

I expected something like this, so I was looking at the
end of the page already (where the comments are). There
is no add-comment-link. Then I was looking around the page,
checking the link-list where my name appeared, checked
the prefereces-page if there is a checkbox allowing to
disable that link, checked if the link-list at the end
of the page containing the usual links (Home, About, etc.)
come with an additional one. All that was negative, so
I asked.
Should I send a screenshot, you can use your favorite
paint-program to put a red circle around the link I'm
obviously too blind to see? ;-)
> Clicking on that link enables you to add a comment.
Really? ;-)
I think, somebody who is not realizing the meaning of
an "Add Comment"-link should not be allowed to use it
anyway ;-)

Are there other restrictions maybe?
> I hope that helps,
Nope ;-)
