Hello Boris, I'm not an expert in security. I even couldn't keep a pin of my credit card secured from my wife. :-)
Anyway, few weeks ago I faced a problem with tests which failed due to java.policy file forgotten by a release engineer in his home directory. We decided that changing the java.security.policy property and invoking refresh() is a hacker style, so we had to write our security manager implementation. I have just checked that the guy who actually made the fix implemented the property hack. That is why I vote for the second choice. It is much simpler and we can migrate to the first method later if needed. Does it make sense?
