[Coco] Is Mocha DEAD?

[Tim Fadden]

This is not because mocha is unsafe, it is because Java has been made 
safer, and blocks apps not designed for high security.  It is no more 
unsafe than flash, or the idiot behind the wheel.  :-)

After accepting the risks, the latest Java spits out:

Application Blocked by Java Security

For security, applications must now meet the requirements or the High or 
Very High security settings, or be part of the Exception Site List to be 
allowed to run.

Name: CoCoApplet
Location http://www.haplessgenius.com
Reason:Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from 
running.

I then entered the Java control panel and added the link to the 
exception list, and still a no go.
I also tried the signed version, and it fails stating self-signed apps 
are blocked.

Author needs to up his security in the program to make it copacetic.
