      java version "1.3.0"

      The javadoc for CodeSource.implies(), while apparently logically correct,
      is unclear to a casual reader. Specifically, you ought to
      make clear that a CodeSource with a null URL and null certificate chain
      implies every other CodeSource. Such instances (call'em something like
      the *root* code sources) deserve mention because of the impact they can have in
      a java.security.Policy implementation.
