Myrna van Lunteren updated DERBY-2908:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: DERBY-2908_plugin111.diff
                DERBY-2908_plugin111.stat

Attaching a patch which modifies the plugin to use 'null' by default for derby.system.home. I put some extra if (<derby.system.home> != null) although I'm not sure that was even necessary.
Also modified the doc to reflect a change in the default value.
Increased the plugin versions to 1.1.1. for this.

If this looks ok, and someone checks tonight (California time) then I wonder if I should undo Rick's changes to the default policy file & documentation,...?

>             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.

> 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...
