Thanks Myrna! That is exactly the behavior I see, too.

Meanwhile, while experimenting with different orders of jars in my
classpath, I also discovered that the following two lines were added
to the derby.jar and derbynet.jar, but NOT to the derbytools.jar:

  // BUG DERBY-622 derbynet/sysinfo.java
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derbyTesting.codedir}${/}*", "read";

This causes the access to the locale message jars to be inconsistent,
depending on which jar sysinfo is loaded from.

So, depending on the details of my classpath, I can create *three*
different behaviors for the derbynet/sysinfo.java test:

1) If I run with jars, with either derby.jar or derbynet.jar first, I
   get the behavior which matches the master files that I submitted:
   - java.class.path cannot be accessed
   - locale message jars can be accessed.

2) If I run with classes, I get the behavior which Rick & Dan described:
   - java.class.path can be accessed.
   - locale message jars can be accessed.

3) If I run with jars, but with derbytools.jar first, I get still a
   third behavior:
   - java.class.path can be accessed.
   - locale message jars cannot be accessed.

Perhaps the easiest way out, at this point, is to make the following changes:
1) Add

   permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.class.path", "read";

   for derby.jar, derbynet.jar, and derbytools.jar in derby_tests.policy

2) Add

   // BUG DERBY-622 derbynet/sysinfo.java
   permission java.io.FilePermission "${derbyTesting.codedir}${/}*", "read";

   to derbytools.jar in derby_tests.policy

3) Update the master files to reflect that the sysinfo tests are allowed
   to read both java.class.path AND the locale message jars.

What do you think?

thanks,

bryan
