I’m trying to do a Google App Engine project on OS X (latest and greatest). I’m using classes from javax.crypto, and I’m seeing an AccessControlException thrown when I try to initialize an instance of the Mac class. Here’s the stack trace:
WARNING: Nested in java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:

Any ideas on
1 – what went wrong and how fix it
2 – if it’s not fixable (I know Apple has not been the best supporter of Java in recent years), what’s an alternative approach?
Found a workround on google groups:
“To work around the local Mac SDK problem, you can pass
–jvm_flag=-D–enable_all_permissions=true to your dev_appserver. This will
cause the error to go away, but will unfortunately also disable most of the
security checking in your local environment. “
