Description
It should be possible to specify an alternate Policy provider on the java command line, rather than having to edit an SDK/JRE installation. The latter is not conducive to read-only and shared installations.

EVALUATION charlie.lai@Eng 2001-03-08 allowed the entire java.security properties file to be specified from the command line via the system property, java.security.properties=<URL>. this properties file appends to the system properties file. if both properties files specify values for the same key, the value from command-line properties file wins, as it is the last one loaded. also, if you specify java.security.properties==<URL> (2 equals), then that properties file completely overrides the system properties file. to disable the ability to specify an additional properties file from the command line, set the key security.overridePropertiesFile to false in the system properties file. it is set to true by default.
