For consistency, you should probably also add a hard-coded permission to the 
`sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.initStaticPolicy()` method which is used as a 
fallback if there is a problem parsing the `java.policy` file. I doubt this 
will cause any issues as I don't suspect many/any applications will suddenly 
start reading this property and running with an SM but again it is mainly for 
consistency as all the other default permissions in this file are also granted 
in that method.
