> If a PermissionAdmin service is present, then a bundle making use of PreferencesService currently needs a "org.osgi.service.prefs.PreferencesService" "get" ServicePermission (which is as it should be), but also a FilePermission for the felix-cache subdirectory that contains the data for the PreferencesService bundle. WIthout it, an attempt to alter preferences results in a security exception.
> A bundle should not have (or need) file access to another bundle's private data.
