java.security.AccessControlException How can Get full rights?

Question

Totally new to java and and struggling. I need to get the user preferred language I did the following
Locale userPreferredLocale = Locale.getDefault() ; However the above despite my Language being "da-DK" it always gets "en-GB"

so I tried the the following which I think will return the correct user language String locale = System.getProperty("user.language"); System.out.println("The Locale of the system is: "+locale);

However now I crash with java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.language read) What do I need to do so that I have full rights? Do I need to create a file and put it somewhere ?

Can you help? Thanks

I don't know for sure, but what happens when you specifically run the program as root or administrator? Sometimes it isn't your code what causes the problem...

rebooted the system and not sure makes sense but now It seems ok
