[Jmol-developers] Security exception due to popup

[Martin H. <ho...@fi...>]

Hello,

the most recent JVMs will throw a AccessControlException, when you try to open the JMol 
context menu in a unsigned applet:


Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied 
(java.awt.AWTPermission setWindowAlwaysOnTop)
	at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:342)

This happend with "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b23)" and (build 
1.6.0_10-ea-b07). The older  (build 1.6.0-b105) works fine. So for now only beta versions 
of java are affected.
