Notes:

For this question, authors were asked to rate their knowledge of Java's security measures as: "None at all", "A little (e.g. could list some of them)", "Moderate (e.g. have read the white paper)", "A lot (e.g. have a thorough understanding of flaws recently found)", or "Expert (e.g. have written code to test them) ".

Of those who knew something about Java's security, more than half of the respondents reported that they know "a little" (53.9%). 45.0% reported knowing a "moderate" amount or "a lot". Only 1.0% considered themselves experts.
