Permission Sniffer update Permission sniffer 0.3 adds: Ant task support: the audit task will run an arbitrary Java program and generate the implied policy file No longer needs to be installed as a Java extension I am looking for feedback and suggestions for what to add next. Current plan is Add the ability to start from an existing set of permissions, instead of building the set from scratch. This will make wildcarding possible in batch (Ant) usage. Add the ability to do a regression comparison. This would allow unit tests to be compared to see if any new permissions are being asserted. I also would like to get some review of the AuditingSecurityManager. All the weird code is to avoid needing policy file or extensions directory support. Is there an easier way? 12:28:53 AM    comment []
