I got this too, I was pretty sure it was that junit is trying to read
system properties, the first one being "user.dir". I think it also then
tries to read Junit properties out of the user's home directory?
I spent some time trying to modify the test harness to indicate where
the third party jars were to try and fix this, but finally gave up and
turned off security manager for my JUnit test (I was going to log a
separate bug for this, I just didn't think it was worth spending all my
time trying to fix this right now).

Why do you need to grant permissions to read all files for the
derbyTesting and junit jars?
I'm sorry, but I think you need to ask the junit developers about
that. I don't know exactly which files junit wants to access, but the
last error I saw (before granting read access to all files), was an
access exception because junit was trying to read my home directory to
figure out if there was a junit.properties file there, I think. I
don't really understand why derbyTesting.jar needs the same access,
but I assume it is because the Bugs class (which inherits TestCase)
ends up there...
I guess it is possible to find the minimal set of file and property
rights needed by junit, either by reading the junit source, or through
trial and error, but given the comment in the policy file about not
trying to make the test harness secure, I didn't think it was worth
it...
Just trying to understand it. Adding broad permissions, in my mind,
increases the chance of a SecurityManager related bug being hidden.
I think derbyTesting.jar would need the permission because it is in the
calling stack of the junit code, and the junit code is not coded to use
privileged blocks. I don't think it would have anything to do with the
Bugs class, but what do you mean by it "ends up there"? Is junit copying
classes out of derbyTesting.jar?
Dan.
Why not just all files under the user.dir?
