Java Thread checkAccess
<p>I was pondering, playing around with some code. I came across the following method in the Thread class: <code>checkAccess()</code>. </p>

<p>The documentation (literally) says <em>"Does nothing."</em> Why would this possibly be in the Thread class if it does nothing? - Are we possibly dealing with developer trolls?</p>
