WRT LANG-744 "StringUtils throws java.security.AccessControlException on Google App Engine"
Well, I've ruminated, pondered and experimented. Running all unit tests with a security managers results in: Tests run: 2046, Failures: 2, Errors: 115, Skipped: 0 Clearly, we need a good overall solution to avoid 117 new Jiras (an exaggeration I know.) I've created a JAAS policy file to grant just enough permissions to run the unit tests in {{src/test/resource/java.policy}} The file contains instructions for using it with JAAS. What this shows is that we should either: # Run all unit tests a second time with JAAS enabled, or # Run all unit tests with JAAS enabled, always We should our solution as a pattern for other Commons component. Specifically for StringUtils, should we have a SunStringUtils? This would let you know that you are depending on com.sun code.
