       A  Concept Inventory (CI) is a set of multiple-choice questions
       that  can be used to assess the students’ comprehension on some
       topic  at  some  point  during  a course. Each incorrect choice
       corresponds to a specific misconception – an inaccurate line of
       thought  students often follows. In previous work we identified
       misconceptions  for Introductory Programming Courses (CS1) in C
       and    Python    programming    languages.   Based   on   these  
       misconceptions,  in this work we mapped and documented possible
       misconceptions that could be found in CS1 courses based on JAVA
       programming  language.  We  developed Java programming codes in
       order  to  check if the misconceptions detected in C and Python
       also could occur in Java language. Also, we used these codes to
       identify  possible  new  misconceptions  in Java, exploring its
       syntax    and    object-oriented    paradigm.    Finally,   the  
       misconceptions  identified  (N  =  34)  were  classified into 8
       programming   topics  and  documented  through  an  Antipattern 
       structure,   composed   by:  code  (a  label  to  identify  the 
       misconception);  name;  description  (a brief explanation about
       the  misconception);  example; rationale (a possible reason why
       the  misconception happens); consequences; detection (where and
       how  the  misconception happens); and improvement (solutions in
       order to prevent the misconception). Future work relates to the
       validation  of  the  misconceptions  identified  on  this work,
       through  CS1  specialists and students, following the CI design
       process proposed by Almstrum et al.
