Forget I said that ;-)

The name "jdk.allowSecurityManager" is actually fine.

I was also confused at first because I believed the
property, if set to false, would just prevent someone
to call System::setSecurityManager at runtime, whereas
it also prevents to set a security manager on the command
line.

Maybe emphasizing this would remove any confusion.

I wonder if the VM should fail to start if both
-Djdk.allowSecurityManager=false and -Djava.security.manager
are supplied?

best regards and apologies for the noise of my previous mail...
