4) My classpath is wired together out of the classtree under trunk/classes and the jar files in trunk/tools/java.
Thanks, Rick, that was exactly the clue I needed.
I've been running solely from jars, both sane and insane. When I re-wired my classpath to run directly from trunk/classes, I got exactly the error you describe. Rick, can you file a bug and assign it to me? Meanwhile, can some of the security experts help me out a bit with the policy file? Why is it that the sysinfo code is permitted to read the java.class.path property when running from the classes directory, but is denied access to that property when running from jars? thanks, bryan
