I had a bit of experience with JWS a few years back but haven't touched 
it since then. I'm trying to get back into it but am getting stymied at 
the very beginning.

I'm trying to run the setclock.jnlp application at
http://mindprod.com/webstart/setclock.html on my laptop, running Windows 
10.

After I click on the Launch button, it starts to download and, at about 
the 3/4 point on the progress indicator, I get a modal dialog that says:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Java Application Blocked

Application blocked by Java Security.

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

Name: SetClock
Location: http://www.mindprod.com
Reason: Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application 
from running.

[OK]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I previously set the security level to High in the Security tab of the 
Java Control Panel, checked the "Enable Java Content in the browser" 
checkbox, and added http://www.mindprod.com to the exception list. I'm 
running a current version of Firefox.

What else do I need to do?

I found the big warning at the top of
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javawebstart.html
but I'm not clear if that supersedes information lower on the page or 
just supplements it. Is it relevant to my problem?

I've tried running the sample applications in the Oracle tutorial about 
JWS but all it does is nag me to install a newer JRE when I already have 
the latest one. (The Java Control panel sees both 1.7.0_80 and 1.8.0_91.)

I tried asking on the Oracle community forums for Java a few days back 
but no one has chosen to answer my question.

Can you give me any information or troubleshooting steps so that I can 
get past my problem? I'm just spinning my wheels here....
