Subject: java.security.AccessControlException when using Ant, but runs ok when
 invoking java from console

I have the following *Ant < java >* task:

<echo message="running the app with classpath = ${classpath-run.msg}"/>
<echo message="Java version used (ant.java.version): ${ant.java.version}"/>
<echo message="Java version used (    java.version): ${java.version}"/>
<java classname ="${project.MainClass.name}">
    <permissions>
        <grant class="java.security.AllPermission"/>
        <grant class="javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission"
action="register"/>
    </permissions>
    <classpath refid="run.classpath"/>
</java>

When I run *Ant* the execution of the **task fails (see trace below my
signature). When I copy-paste the echoed classpath and run my code from the
command line with *java -classpath ..* the execution succeeds! I was
advised that apparently I had to add some permissions to the Ant <java>
task and so I have as you can see above, but the problem persists.

In both cases the same version of *java* is used.

I have the book "Ant in Action" (Manning Press) but there's no mention
about any Security Managers with Ant. So my questions are:

[1] Why should Ant's <java> task even bother with permissions and Security
Managers? It is a long-established convention that running Java from the
command line never sets any Security Managers.

[2] How can I disable Ant's Security Manager or grant permissions that
would ensure my Ant <java> runs are the same as executing the code from the
command line ?

Menelaos.
