Java Needlessly Obsessive Security

Java is joining the ranks of the uber paranoid, and not allowing me to get anything done.  Once again (and for the umpteenth plus one time) I cannot access my home control system, which I've been using for the past 3 years without issues....except these stupid Java Security issues which I used to be able to get around.

I can't even disable security in the advanced panel, by clicking on all the "not recommended" boxes.

Because when I do that, I just get another security message which tells me Java won't run without all those needless checks.

Honestly, I've never had any trouble with viruses, trojans, etc.  But I've had endless troubles not unlike this, just trying to do things I don't do often, because of useless security.

If it were nice, I could get some kind of hint as to what was attempting what, and suggestions as to how to unblock it.

In this case, it appears I can't run my home control system without finding what URL my home security system is at, and then adding it to the list of things to unblock.

Which is something I don't have time for right now.

And then, if my local network refreshes, I may have to do it all over again.

It should just know, that anything on my LAN, at least, can be trusted.

Anything I've told it I trust 100 times before, and used 100 times before, but not recently, can still be trusted.

But the new rule is, anything that isn't from Apple or a corporation liked by Apple, can't be trusted without going through endless hoops.

No matter how many times I've told Mac OS or Java it can be trusted, before.
