Recommendations
MSC00-J. Eliminate class initialization cycles
MSC02-J. Avoid cyclic dependencies between packages
MSC03-J. Prefer using Iterators over Enumerations
MSC04-J. Carefully design interfaces before releasing them
MSC05-J. Do not mix generic with non-generic raw types in new code
MSC08-J. Finish every set of statements associated with a case label with a break statement
MSC09-J. Do not assume infinite heap space
MSC11-J. Limit the lifetime of sensitive data
MSC12-J. Do not use insecure or weak cryptographic algorithms
Rules
MSC30-J. Generate truly random numbers
MSC31-J. Never hardcode sensitive information
MSC37-J. Make sensitive classes noncloneable
MSC38-J. Do not modify the underlying collection when an iteration is in progress
MSC45-J. Do not base critical decisions on IP addresses or DNS lookups
MSC46-J. Do not use Object.equals() to compare cryptographic keys
