Hi Erik,

Actually, this is a bug in JDOImplHelper. It is missing a doPrivileged around calling getDateTimeInstance.

The permissions you mention should be assigned to the JDO jar, if needed at all. We need to look at the implementation here and decide if getDateTimeInstance is really needed or if there is some other way to get this functionality.

Can you please file a JIRA?

Thanks,

Craig

An application using JDO needs the following additional permissions to run:

        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.home", "read";

Otherwise:

Is that interesting to note in the JDO SPEC?
