// Standard extensions get all permissions by default

grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/lib/ext/*" {
	permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// default permissions granted to all domains

grant { 
	// Allows any thread to stop itself using the java.lang.Thread.stop()
	// method that takes no argument.
	// Note that this permission is granted by default only to remain
	// backwards compatible.
	// It is strongly recommended that you either remove this permission
	// from this policy file or further restrict it to code sources
	// that you specify, because Thread.stop() is potentially unsafe.
	// See "http://java.sun.com/notes" for more information.
