Java has Security Managers. I've never seen anyone use it in practice though, so it probably doesn't work very well.

I think it would be hard to get any kind of usable capability system without algebraic effects like those of Koka or Scala libraries.

EDIT: Apparently Security Managers are deprecated and slated for removal.
