/**
 * <p>Permission controlling access to MBeanServer operations.  If a
 * security manager has been set using {@link
 * System#setSecurityManager}, most operations on the MBean Server
 * require that the caller's permissions imply an MBeanPermission
 * appropriate for the operation.  This is described in detail in the
 * documentation for the {@link MBeanServer} interface.</p>
 *
 * <p>As with other {@link Permission} objects, an MBeanPermission can
 * represent either a permission that you <em>have</em> or a
 * permission that you <em>need</em>.  When a sensitive operation is
 * being checked for permission, an MBeanPermission is constructed
 * representing the permission you need.  The operation is only
 * allowed if the permissions you have {@link #implies imply} the
 * permission you need.</p>
 *
 * <p>An MBeanPermission contains four items of information:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li><p>The <em>action</em>.  For a permission you need,
 * this is one of the actions in the list <a
 * href="#action-list">below</a>.  For a permission you have, this is
 * a comma-separated list of those actions, or <code>*</code>,
 * representing all actions.</p>
 *
 * <p>The action is returned by {@link #getActions()}.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>The <em>class name</em>.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you need, this is the class name of an MBean
 * you are accessing, as returned by {@link
 * MBeanServer#getMBeanInfo(ObjectName)
 * MBeanServer.getMBeanInfo(name)}.{@link MBeanInfo#getClassName()
 * getClassName()}.  Certain operations do not reference a class name,
 * in which case the class name is null.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you have, this is either empty or a <em>class
 * name pattern</em>.  A class name pattern is a string following the
 * Java conventions for dot-separated class names.  It may end with
 * "<code>.*</code>" meaning that the permission grants access to any
 * class that begins with the string preceding "<code>.*</code>".  For
 * instance, "<code>javax.management.*</code>" grants access to
 * <code>javax.management.MBeanServerDelegate</code> and
 * <code>javax.management.timer.Timer</code>, among other classes.</p>
 *
 * <p>A class name pattern can also be empty or the single character
 * "<code>*</code>", both of which grant access to any class.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>The <em>member</em>.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you need, this is the name of the attribute or
 * operation you are accessing.  For operations that do not reference
 * an attribute or operation, the member is null.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you have, this is either the name of an attribute
 * or operation you can access, or it is empty or the single character
 * "<code>*</code>", both of which grant access to any member.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>The <em>object name</em>.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you need, this is the {@link ObjectName} of the
 * MBean you are accessing.  For operations that do not reference a
 * single MBean, it is null.  It is never an object name pattern.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you have, this is the {@link ObjectName} of the
 * MBean or MBeans you can access.  It may be an object name pattern
 * to grant access to all MBeans whose names match the pattern.  It
 * may also be empty, which grants access to all MBeans whatever their
 * name.</p>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>If you have an MBeanPermission, it allows operations only if all
 * four of the items match.</p>
 *
 * <p>The class name, member, and object name can be written together
 * as a single string, which is the <em>name</em> of this permission.
 * The name of the permission is the string returned by {@link
 * Permission#getName() getName()}.  The format of the string is:</p>
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <code>className#member[objectName]</code>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>The object name is written using the usual syntax for {@link
 * ObjectName}.  It may contain any legal characters, including
 * <code>]</code>.  It is terminated by a <code>]</code> character
 * that is the last character in the string.</p>
 *
 * <p>One or more of the <code>className</code>, <code>member</code>,
 * or <code>objectName</code> may be omitted.  If the
 * <code>member</code> is omitted, the <code>#</code> may be too (but
 * does not have to be).  If the <code>objectName</code> is omitted,
 * the <code>[]</code> may be too (but does not have to be).  It is
 * not legal to omit all three items, that is to have a <em>name</em>
 * that is the empty string.</p>
 *
 * <p>One or more of the <code>className</code>, <code>member</code>,
 * or <code>objectName</code> may be the character "<code>-</code>",
 * which is equivalent to a null value.  A null value is implied by
 * any value (including another null value) but does not imply any
 * other value.</p>
 *
 * <p><a name="action-list">The possible actions are these:</a></p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>addNotificationListener</li>
 * <li>getAttribute</li>
 * <li>getClassLoader</li>
 * <li>getClassLoaderFor</li>
 * <li>getClassLoaderRepository</li>
 * <li>getDomains</li>
 * <li>getMBeanInfo</li>
 * <li>getObjectInstance</li>
 * <li>instantiate</li>
 * <li>invoke</li>
 * <li>isInstanceOf</li>
 * <li>queryMBeans</li>
 * <li>queryNames</li>
 * <li>registerMBean</li>
 * <li>removeNotificationListener</li>
 * <li>setAttribute</li>
 * <li>unregisterMBean</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>In a comma-separated list of actions, spaces are allowed before
 * and after each action.</p>
