-/**
- * This is the interface used for representing one entry in an Access
- * Control List (ACL).<p>
- *
- * An ACL can be thought of as a data structure with multiple ACL entry
- * objects. Each ACL entry object contains a set of permissions associated
- * with a particular principal. (A principal represents an entity such as
- * an individual user or a group). Additionally, each ACL entry is specified
- * as being either positive or negative. If positive, the permissions are
- * to be granted to the associated principal. If negative, the permissions
- * are to be denied. Each principal can have at most one positive ACL entry
- * and one negative entry; that is, multiple positive or negative ACL
- * entries are not allowed for any principal.
- *
- * Note: ACL entries are by default positive. An entry becomes a
- * negative entry only if the
- * {@link #setNegativePermissions() setNegativePermissions}
- * method is called on it.
- *
- * @see java.security.acl.Acl
