| 30 | +/** | |
| 31 | + * This class is for AWT permissions. | |
| 32 | + * An <code>AWTPermission</code> contains a target name but | |
| 33 | + * no actions list; you either have the named permission | |
| 34 | + * or you don't. | |
| 35 | + * | |
| 36 | + * <P> | |
| 37 | + * The target name is the name of the AWT permission (see below). The naming | |
| 38 | + * convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention. | |
| 39 | + * Also, an asterisk could be used to represent all AWT permissions. | |
| 40 | + * | |
| 41 | + * <P> | |
| 42 | + * The following table lists all the possible <code>AWTPermission</code> | |
| 43 | + * target names, and for each provides a description of what the | |
| 44 | + * permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code | |
| 45 | + * the permission. | |
| 46 | + * <P> | |
| 47 | + * | |

| 95 | + * system, since the program is in direct control of rendering. Depending on | |
| 96 | + * the implementation, the security warning may not be shown for the windows | |
| 97 | + * used to enter the full-screen exclusive mode (assuming that the {@code | |
| 98 | + * fullScreenExclusive} permission has been granted to this application). Note | |
| 99 | + * that this behavior does not mean that the {@code | |
| 100 | + * showWindowWithoutWarningBanner} permission will be automatically granted to | |
| 101 | + * the application which has the {@code fullScreenExclusive} permission: | |

| 112 | + * AWT event listener is called from within the context of that | |
| 113 | + * event queue's EventDispatchThread, so if the accessEventQueue | |
| 114 | + * permission is also enabled, malicious code could modify the | |
