This quite misleading. As far as I know, the Microsoft contract
referred to has only funded a very small part of Kaffe. (I have had
contact with Tim Wilkinson and Kaffe since before there was a
Transvirtual, and in fact was involved in some early of funding of
Kaffe, when I worked at Cygnus .)

You are being deliberately provocative. Of course one can build a
serious application without java.security. One can even build a
secure application without it, though java.security gives you better
control. A compiler, a word-processor, an editor, or any single-user
application should not to deal with security concerns.
