---------------------------------------

Thanks Robert. I will later try and run everything on windows to ensure all is 
fine.

Your recent patch (LUCENE-6292) added read access to "/dev/urandom", maybe we 
should also add this here to test it thoroughly (currently it falls back to 
backup strategy for getting a random seed)? Or is this not applicable for tests 
because it always uses {{-Dtest.seed}} while testing so it never tries to open 
that file?

> This is overly permissive:
> {noformat}
>   // Basic permissions needed for Lucene to work:
>   permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";
>   permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "*";
>   permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "*";
> {noformat}
> Because of various BS like unsafe-hacks (only mmap seems to do it properly), 
> this means effectively you cannot use lucene with SM today, without allowing 
> SM itself to just be disabled with reflection. 
> This is easy to fix.
