[Bug swing/25038] New: If the system clipboard is blocked by security manager, the VM-local cliboard is used.

[audriusa at bluewin dot ch]

>From the historical past, if the system clipboard is blocked by the security
manager, the javax.swing.TransferHandler uses its own clipoard that (being
static field) is local for the current virtual machine. Such clipboard is
convenient in cases when copy-paste operation is performed to transfer the text
inside the same text document or between the text areas in the same frame.

However Mark raised the suspection that this additional clipboard may still
open some security hole. The current ideas are to block any clipboard if the
security manager does not permit one or use the component-local cliboard. We
probably need more opinions before fixing.
