The `java.security.debug` system property now accepts arguments which add thread ID, thread name, caller information, and timestamp information to debug statements for all components or a specific component.

`+timestamp` can be appended to debug options to print a timestamp for that debug option.
`+thread` can be appended to debug options to print thread and caller information for that debug option.

Examples:
`-Djava.security.debug=all+timestamp+thread` adds timestamp and thread information to every debug statement generated.

`-Djava.security.debug=properties+timestamp` adds timestamp information to every debug statement generated for the `properties` component.

You can also specify `-Djava.security.debug=help` which will display a complete list of supported components and arguments.
