Description

Code scanning is a feature that analyzes the code in a GitHub repository to find security vulnerabilities and coding errors. Any problems identified by the analysis are shown in GitHub.

GH supports Java, which is the main language for this project. We should integrate this product with our CI builds using the instructions provided here: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/using-codeql-code-scanning-with-your-existing-ci-system/about-codeql-code-scanning-in-your-ci-system.
