This project looks like it's trying to conserve the old SecurityManager (from the Java Applet/Webstart days) implementation that's been removed from the OpenJDK tree. The motivation is on the website: only a very small number of people still use this, but if you're one of them and have a legacy application that depends on the old behavior you don't want too many changes.
