Loading of java.lang.annotation.Target class requires access to java rt.jar [SPR-10249]

[spring-projects-issues]

Jens Lindman opened SPR-10249 and commented

There seems to be more problems when loading java core classes when running with a security manager.
I waited for the fix for #14691 in Spring 3.2 since I got the problem with java.lang.Object class.
Now it seems to be the same issue with java.lang.annotation.Target class.

Output:

access: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_09/jre/lib/rt.jar" "read")

leads to the following exception:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [java/lang/annotation/Target.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist
