My antivirus complains of the following message for the mockneat library. The version I am using is 0.3.8.

Virus: Java.Trojan.GenericGBA.20288

Is there any possible changes that can be made in the next version of this library so as to avoid such for future versions?

The current version is 0.4.1, but without giving me more details, I don't know what to say about that "virus" ? What classes are problematic ?

This is the first time I am hearing this. Where are you downloading it from ?

I have added it to my pom. It takes it from maven.

The antivirus scanner does not give any more details than this unfortunately.

What is the antivirus ? Maybe I can contact them.

I will contact Microsoft to understand better what's happening. Thanks for notifying me about this.

@dishantkamble I've sent the request to Microsoft for this false positive.

If you want to help you can also submit the .jar file as a false positive:

I've contacted the security team. It's a false positive. Should be fixed in the future.
