Getting access denied when using AWTEventListener in Applet

I have an applet embedded in browser. In the applet init() method I have the below code:

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(new AWTEventListener() {
        public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent event) {
            if(event instanceof MouseEvent){
                MouseEvent evt = (MouseEvent)event;
                if(evt.getID() == MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED){
                    System.out.println("Mouse Clicked");
                }
            }
        }
    }, AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK);

When applet loads I'm getting error: 

access denied ("java.awt.AWTPermission" "listenToAllAWTEvents")

Policy

Now in my policy file (path below) I appended at the bottom:

Permission

grant  {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Path

C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_10/jre/lib/security/java.policy

But I'm still getting same access denied problem.

Anyone has any idea why I'm still getting that error even though I'm granting all permissions in the java.policy file?

Here is a link to trusted code written/deployed by me. It produces the java.home property for the JVM.

Here it points to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

Note that no part of that path contains jdk as I now note in the path above. Ensure the policy file is on the same path as the one identified in the applet.
