Description

Current providers of DynamicPolicy in the starter kit do not provide support for UmbrellaGrantPermission as PolicyFileProvider does. It seems reasonable to add support for this. For a motivational example, see the following post on jini-users:

DynamicPolicyProvider can't deal with UmbrellaGrantPermission

In the specific case of DynamicPolicyProvider in addition to handling the case where an UmbrellaGrantPermission has been granted through its grant method, it also makes sense to process UmbrellaGrantPermissions that may have been granted in the base policy.
