FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
jdk1.7.0_40
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If a jar contains a restrictive "codebase" attribute, the java plugin will not run it, but is too uninformative about the reason. It says simply "blocked" and the "click for details" button provides no details - it only pops up the java console.
I realize there is a desire to not be too helpful to persons attempting to misuse
an applet, but the current behavior is indistinguishable from a broken JRE.
The message should be "blocked by codebase attribute" or something
similar, and the "details" should enumerate where the codebase does
permit running the jar.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
