/**
 * The <code>JDOPermission</code> class is for operations that are reserved for JDO implementations
 * and should not be called by other code. A <code>JDOPermission</code> is a <em>named
 * permission</em> and has no actions. There are two names currently defined. Each named permission
 * has a corresponding public static final field which contains an instance of the named permission.
 *
 * <p>The following table provides a summary description of what each named permission allows, and
 * discusses the risks of granting code the permission.
 *
 * <table border=1 cellpadding=5 summary="">
 * <tr>
 * <th>Permission Target Name</th>
 * <th>What the Permission Allows</th>
 * <th>Risks of Allowing this Permission</th>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 *   <td><code>setStateManager</code></td>
 *   <td>This allows setting the <code>StateManager</code> for an instance of
 *   <code>PersistenceCapable</code>. The <code>StateManager</code>
 *   has unlimited access to get and set persistent and transactional fields of
 *   the <code>PersistenceCapable</code> instance.</td>
 *   <td>This is dangerous in that information (possibly confidential)
 *   normally unavailable would be accessible to malicious code.</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 *   <td><code>getMetadata</code></td>
 *   <td>This allows getting metadata for any <code>PersistenceCapable</code>
 *   class that has registered with <code>JDOImplHelper</code>.</td>
 *   <td>This is dangerous in that metadata information (possibly confidential)
 *   normally unavailable would be accessible to malicious code.</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 *   <td><code>manageMetadata</code></td>
 *   <td>This allows managing metadata for any <code>PersistenceCapable</code>
 *   class that has registered with <code>JDOImplHelper</code>.</td>
 *   <td>This is dangerous in that metadata information (possibly confidential)
 *   normally unavailable would be manageable (modifiable) by malicious code.
 *   </td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 *   <td><code>closePersistenceManagerFactory</code></td>
 *   <td>This allows closing a <code>PersistenceManagerFactory</code>,
 *       thereby releasing resources.</td>
 *   <td>This is dangerous in that resources bound to the
 *       <code>PersistenceManagerFactory</code> would be releaseable by
 *       malicious code.</td>
