Did you learn something useful related with auditing Java code in the Paladion 
course? 

When I work auditing code, I have serious problems when the Java code is a 
classic application (azureus, eclipse, ..) because you don't have common 
problems in user input, session handling, auth, etc. (so you can exploit with 
vulns like XSS or SQL injection) like in common web applications.

Perhaps you can have some security risks related with the own runtime, the 
logic or exception handling, but it's more difficult to find these kind of 
problems.
