/**
* This class is for JAXB permissions. A {@code JAXBPermission}
* contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but
* no actions list; you either have the named permission
* or you don't.
*
*
* The target name is the name of the JAXB permission (see below).
*
*
* The following table lists all the possible {@code JAXBPermission} target names,
* and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
* and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

*
* setDatatypeConverter
*
* Allows the code to set VM-wide {@link DatatypeConverterInterface}
* via {@link DatatypeConverter#setDatatypeConverter(DatatypeConverterInterface) the setDatatypeConverter method}
* that all the methods on {@link DatatypeConverter} uses.
*
*
* Malicious code can set {@link DatatypeConverterInterface}, which has
* VM-wide singleton semantics, before a genuine JAXB implementation sets one.
* This allows malicious code to gain access to objects that it may otherwise
* not have access to, such as {@link java.awt.Frame#getFrames()} that belongs to
* another application running in the same JVM.
