Restrict Certain Java Code in a Plug-in

I am creating an application which uses the Java Plugin Framework to load plug-ins and integrate them into the program.

My question is: Is there any way to restrict certain operations (such as starting a new process) in the plug-ins? What I have in mind is something like Java WebStart, i.e when the application wants to access the FileSytem, the user is prompted whether or not to allow the action.

I was thinking of maybe creating a security manager and, if so, how can I do that?
