JDK-Info:
---------
java version "1.6.0-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-rc-b61)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-rc-b61, mixed mode)


Operating System:
-----------------
Solaris


Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
* JDK binaries are available at /net/sqindia.india/export/disk09/jdk/1.6.0/b61/binaries/solsparc
* I have created a symblink on my home directory "j2se" pointing to /net/sqindia.india/export/disk10/j2se

Similar setup can be done with koori.sfbay and a home directory

1) Goto $JDK1.6.0/bin, that is /net/sqindia.india/export/disk09/jdk/1.6.0/b61/binaries/solsparc/bin
2) Launch ./appletviewer ~/j2se/../../disk09/jdk/1.6.0/b61/binaries/solsparc/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.html

(that is, my home_directory/j2se (pointing to sqindia:/export/disk10/j2se)/../../disk09/jdk/1.6.0/b61/binaries/solsparc/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.html)

The following exception is thrown:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /home/disk09/jdk/1.6.0/b61/binaries/solsparc/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2Applet.class read)

With .java.policy on my home directory with permission as "All Permissions" still throws the same Exception


But when tried to launch ./java -jar ~/j2se/../../disk09/jdk/1.6.0/b61/binaries/solsparc/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar works fine
