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

             Summary: ij requires excessive PropertyPermissions
                 Key: DERBY-7014
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7014
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Tools
    Affects Versions: 10.15.0.0
            Reporter: Rick Hillegas


The following broad permission...

{noformat}
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";
{noformat}

...must be granted to derbytools.jar because of the following stanza from 
initFromEnvironment() in ij.jj:

{noformat}
                // load all protocols specified via properties
                //
        Properties p = AccessController.doPrivileged(new 
PrivilegedAction<Properties>() {
                public Properties run() {
                return System.getProperties();
            }
        });
{noformat}

We should not have to grant derbytools.jar the power to read and overwrite all 
system properties.
