----------------------------------------
> A better long term solution would be to allow a set of policies to be added

> grant codebase "... path to emma jars" {

> java -jar derbyrun.jar server -additionalPolicy emma.policy start

> This would then be logically added into the permission set that Derby

As far as I understand your suggestion is to add a new option to the network
server (-additionalPolicy, or something along those lines). This new option
would then only have an effect if the network server is started in a way that
causes it to install its own default security policy. The effect would then be
to merge the contents of the default policy file (server.policy) with whatever
policy file is added with the new argument (emma.policy) into a new file, and
then set the java.security.policy property to point to this file before
installing a SecurityManager.
Would this be a feature added just to be able to test the product with EMMA, or
do you think of other use cases as well?
Real users would be able to put a policy file under ${user.home}/.java.policy
or just set -Djava.security.policy, so I guess they wouldn't have a need for
it.

> It is a bit tricky to use EMMA to measure code coverage for the derby testing.
