Using Jmol 14.0.2 (14th December) uploaded to a server, I can indeed no longer get the applet to load (OS X Mavericks/Safari or Firefox). "Application blocked by security settings”. It also (falsely) tells me that "the Java security settings have prevented this application from running. You may change this behaviour in the Java control panel”. Well, I could not. This did not happen with eg 13.3.9. There are four JNLP files in this build of Jmol in the Java directory (including eg JmolApplet.jnlp and JmolAppletSigned.jnlp), but their presence has not prevented the above message. Am struggling slightly. Could it be that our Apache server has no MIMEtype defined for JNLP? Or that OS X Mavericks Java is broken in this regard? Or that some other configuration which I have omitted is needed? The relevant page is http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/WEO/ja061400a/?JAVA (which is an ancient page from ~2007 which I thought I might try to rescue).
