PI Java Editor - Security Refusal

Ah, security, eh... doing a great job of preventing malicious parties doing stuff to your system. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, they also prevent ABAP Heroes, such as ABAPGirl and OSSBoy and Mr SMARTForms from doing their thing...

When trying to access the PI Development environment ( Java ) we recently encountered this:

"Your Security Settings have blocked a self-signed application from running"

Which was fixed by lowering security settings (the cavalier approach) or adding the PI server to the exceptions list (the RIGHT way!).

This is done by going to Control Panel - > Java -> Security

Nice and easy!
