Also changing anything inside an installed JDK probably not a good choice. It's just a thought from my side and it could be different for others.

Good points. I searched the entire repo and this is the only instance that uses the "testlimited" with default_local.policy. Looking over the logic, the test sets the crypto.policy property to "testlimited". So I am wondering if the "testlimited" is created for test purposes. If so, are we allowed to rename "testlimited" to be more specific, eg. "testcryptoperms"? 
`Security.setProperty("crypto.policy", "testlimited");`
