/**
 * This class is for runtime permissions. A RuntimePermission
 * contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but
 * no actions list; you either have the named permission
 * or you don't.
 *
 * <P>
 * The target name is the name of the runtime permission (see below). The
 * naming convention follows the  hierarchical property naming convention.
 * Also, an asterisk
 * may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to
 * signify a wildcard match. For example: "loadLibrary.*" or "*" is valid,
 * "*loadLibrary" or "a*b" is not valid.
 * <P>
 * The following table lists all the possible RuntimePermission target names,
 * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
 * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
 * <P>
 *
 * <table border=1 cellpadding=5 summary="permission target name,
