Answer 1

The method System.setSecurityManager was deprecated in Java 17 , as noted in its Javadoc .

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

This method is only useful in conjunction with the Security Manager , which is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release. Consequently, this method is also deprecated and subject to removal. There is no replacement for the Security Manager or this method.

I suggest you try the latest version of Derby to see if the problem is still there. Currently that would be 10.15.2.0 versus your 10.14.2.0. If still there, file an issue if not already filed.

Not a pressing problem for you while using Java 17. But in a future version of Java, removal of that feature will presumably break a calling app like Derby.

Answer 2

For now, you can ignore it.

But for the future, you should look to get an updated version of JavaDB/Derby that is explicitly compatible with the newer Java versions.

SecurityManager is deprecated since Java 17 and will be removed in one of the next versions. Obviously, this will affect also all methods that deal with instances of that class, like System.setSecurityManager() .
