There are several people (myself included) who have been using RuntimePermission as an easy way to define simple permissions for various purposes. However, by spec [1] the possible values of RuntimePermission are limited to a specific set defined by the JDK itself. Therefore our extensive usage of this permission in WildFly [2] and elsewhere needs to be revisited, and replaced with more specifically applicable permission types. I've created WFLY-3902 [3] to cover the main portion of this work, however, non-core project members should also perform this same examination to fix this issue in their projects.
