10.3.1.0 / 1.1.0 Derby eclipse plugin gives security error referring to
user.dir read permission because derby.system.home is set to '.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-2908
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2908
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Eclipse Plug-in
Affects Versions: 10.3.0.0, 10.3.1.0, 10.3.1.1, 10.4.0.0
Environment: eclipse 3.2.1 with derby 10.3.1.0 core plugin, ui and doc
plugin 1.1.0.
Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
The Derby nature sets by default -Dderby.system.home=. (set in
plugins/eclipse/org.apache.derby.ui/src/org/apache/derby/ui/properties/DerbyProperties.java
and checked in
plugins/eclipse/org.apache.derby.ui/src/org/apache/derby/uitl/DerbyServerUtils.java)
With the default security policy, however, such a setting for ij &
NetworkServerControl results in a security error in ij.
(See stack in thread:
http://www.nabble.com/10.3.1.0b-eclipse-plugin---default-security-tf4030218.html)
It's possible this is a bug in itself...
One work around is to add the following permission to the default policy file:
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.dir", "read";
Another solution is to not set the derby.system.home to anything by default,
and if it's not set to anything, not pass on -Dderby.system.home= to the
networkserver process (specifying -Dderby.system.home= without a value fails to
start networkserver).
This would mean increasing the version of the plugins. To 1.1.1?
Yet another thing would be to adjust the plugin to handle adjusting the
security policy...
