CodeQL query help for Java¶
Visit the articles below to see the documentation for the queries included in the following query suites:
code-scanning: queries run by default in CodeQL code scanning on GitHub.security-extended: queries fromcode-scanning, plus extra security queries with slightly lower precision and severity.security-and-quality: queries fromcode-scanning,security-extended, plus extra maintainability and reliability queries.
For shorter queries that you can use as building blocks when writing your own queries, see the example queries in the CodeQL repository.
