Developing software from reusable libraries lets developers face a security dilemma: Either
be efficient and reuse libraries as they are or inspect them, know about their resource usage,
but possibly miss deadlines as reviews are a time consuming process. In this paper, we
propose a novel capability inference mechanism for libraries written in Java. It uses a coarse-
grained capability model for system resources that can be presented to developers. We
found that the capability inference agrees by 86.81% on expectations towards capabilities …
