public final class RuntimePermission
extends BasicPermission
This class is for runtime permissions. A RuntimePermission contains a name but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.

The name is the name of the runtime permission ("exit", "setFactory", "print.queueJob", etc). The naming convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention. Also, an asterisk may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to signify a wildcard match. For example: "package.*" or "*" is valid, "*package" or "a*b" is not valid.
