Right. This thread is talking about two different issues. What actually caused the exception reported in the ticket is GAE disallowing the privileged action. GAE does not allow all kinds of stuff. You can't even load JCE providers. The other form of "crippled Java" is missing classes or APIs, which you run into with Android. I think your idea of testing with security managers is a good one so that we can see and document what is going to blow up with that kind of crippling. Supporting Android or other crippled environments is harder. In both cases it comes down to volunteer resources to a) do all the testing b) document the failures and c) propose (and maybe get the community to agree on) workarounds. Personally, none of these activities are likely to make it to the top of my always-too-long list of things to work on here, but I won't complain and will apply patches that do no harm while making more things work for more users.
