/**
 * The <code>JDIPermission</code> class represents access rights to
 * the <code>VirtualMachineManager</code>.  This is the permission
 * which the SecurityManager will check when code that is running with
 * a SecurityManager requests access to the VirtualMachineManager, as
 * defined in the Java Debug Interface (JDI) for the Java platform.
 * <P>
 * A <code>JDIPermission</code> object 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 following table provides a summary description of what the
 * permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the
 * permission.
 * <P>
 * <table border=1 cellpadding=5 summary="Table shows permission
 * target name, what the permission allows, and associated risks">
 * <tr>
 * <th>Permission Target Name</th>
 * <th>What the Permission Allows</th>
 * <th>Risks of Allowing this Permission</th>
 * </tr>
 *
 * <tr>
 *   <td>virtualMachineManager</td>
 *   <td>Ability to inspect and modify the JDI objects in the
 *   <code>VirtualMachineManager</code>
 *   </td>
 *   <td>This allows an attacker to control the
 *   <code>VirtualMachineManager</code> and cause the system to
 *   misbehave.
 *   </td>
 * </tr>
 *
 * </table>
 *
 * <p>
 * Programmers do not normally create JDIPermission objects directly.
 * Instead they are created by the security policy code based on reading
 * the security policy file.
