Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-4332:
-------------------------------------

bq. Well if its for test purposes only and not enforcing actual security, we 
should be able to give the runner a nice backdoor (e.g. static boolean 
BACKDOORED) if we really need to right?

I don't know what it will do and how it will fail. I never run with a security 
manager, I think the design of SM is complex, weird and poorly documented (as 
evidenced by the security vuln. published today...). I just don't think of it 
much because I know very few people that actually run with a SM enabled. I am 
fairly sure I do many things in the code that I know won't work with an 
installed SM -- scanning properties, opening files, etc. I'm sure it is 
possible to configure it do grant permissions to certain packages but I've no 
idea how to do it.

I'm not saying no to the idea, but I'm just letting you know that things may 
break in unexpected ways and I will have limited time to learn SM internals... 
Not that I'm especially looking forward to that. :)
