[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [9] RFR: JDK-6197099 : PrinterJob.getUserName() throws a security exception when user.name permission is not given

[Philip Race]

This needs a test. You can provide one by following other similar examples.
Also it needs a CCC to document the exception.
Finally, I am a bit surprised at the exact exception.
Where precisely does this originate (stack trace, please) ?
Probably we should throw SecurityException instead, even
if it is not the exact behaviour today.
Just make sure that our own code is ready for such a change.
