I figured it out myself. I need to specify a policy file via the system
property "java.security.policy" which grants AllPermission like this:

grant {
	permission java.security.AllPermission;
};


I did this before. But unfortunately I copy&pasted a wrong version of
the above from the slides "Building Secure OSGi Applications" [1,2].
(The fully-qualified name of AllPermission is wrong in the slides [3])
