The Java platform was traditionally intended for running mobile code such as applets. To protect system resources from these arbitrary pieces of code downloaded from the network to the user's browser, applets were relegated to the sandbox, where they ran with a limited set of access rights. For local Java applications, on the other hand, the security manager that would have provided a similar sandboxed environment was rarely (if ever) installed. As a result, local applications were typically trusted with access to all system resources.
