NAME
       policyeditor  - view and modify security policy settings for javaws and
       the browser plugin

SYNOPSIS
       policyeditor
       policyeditor [-file] policy_file [-codebase] url

DESCRIPTION
       policyeditor is a GUI application with small command  line  support  to
       view  and  edit applet security policy settings used by the icedtea-web
       implementation of javaws and the browser plugin. It is  intended	 as  a
       simpler, easier to use, and more accessible alternative to the standard
       JDK Policy Tool. Administrators and power users who need	 fine  grained
       control	over  policy  files should probably use Policy Tool instead of
       PolicyEditor.

       If executed without any arguments, no file is opened,  and  saving  the
       file  will result in a prompt on where to save it. Otherwise, if a file
       path is given as a command line argument, then that file path  will  be
       opened and parsed as a policy file.

OPTIONS
       -help  Prints a short help text and exits.

       -file policy_file
	      Specifies a policy file path to open. If exactly one argument is
	      given, and it is not this flag, it is interpreted as a file path
	      to  open,	 as  if	 this  flag  was given first. This flag exists
	      mostly for compatibility with Policy Tool, but  is  also	needed
	      when opening a policy file and also using the -codebase flag.

       -codebase url
	      Specifies	 an  applet  codebase  URL.  If the specified codebase
	      already exists in the policy file (if  any),  then  it  will  be
	      selected	when the editor opens. If it is a new codebase then it
	      will be added and selected. Multiple URLs may also be given with
	      a	 single -codebase flag by separating them with spaces. In this
	      case, the last codebase given will be selected, and all will  be
	      added.  If  this flag is given more than once, only the first is
	      used.

EXAMPLES
       policyeditor

	      Opens the default user-level policy file location

FILES
