Hi, I have a real problem w/ the new security model within the 1.2
plugin. Please help.

- Your archive link 4 (March 1999 to now) doesn't work on
java.sun.com/security/index.html

- I've searched all the email traffic, but I don't see how I can get rid of
the "warning: applet window" displayed at the bottom of 1.2 applets
when using the plugin.

I've examined the policy tool, and perused the security documentation,
but I see no explicit way of turning this off. I fail to see the logic
behind this design choice, since if the sandbox can be selectively
turned off (using the policy and permissions mechanisms you so
eloquently describe) to do a lot of other things, why does this yellow
window still persist in your design? Why are user interfaces so
unimportant to you?
