Pull request overview
This PR addresses GEODE-10531, removing deprecated SecurityManager APIs from OSProcess.java that were removed in Java 21, thereby unblocking the future migration to Java 21. The change is part of a larger initiative (GEODE-10479) to remove all deprecation warnings from the Apache Geode codebase following the Java 17 migration.
Key Changes:
- Removed SecurityManager references and checks from
OSProcess.bgexec()method - Updated JavaDoc to remove references to
SecurityManagerandSecurityManager#checkExec() - Security functionality now relies on OS/JVM security models rather than the deprecated SecurityManager API

Hi @sboorlagadda. Thank you for addressing this Java 21 blocker - removing the deprecated SecurityManager usage is definitely necessary for forward compatibility.
While I understand that SecurityManager removal is mandatory for Java 21 compilation, I'm concerned about completely removing the subprocess execution security check without providing any replacement mechanism. Since this check previously acted as a safeguard against unauthorized command invocation, could you clarify how equivalent protections will be maintained? If no replacement is planned, could you please help me understand the reasoning for why this execution path no longer requires any guardrail.
