Mac: Cannot run demo, even after downgrading to java 1.6
Environment: Because Oracle Java 1.7 makes the Minecraft demo crash (MC-998 et al) I downgraded to the Apple 1.6 browser plugin following the instructions on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
Symptoms: The demo opens a security warning at startup, where one can only "deny" Minecraft access to the computer (even after checking "always trust"). See screenshot. Doing so will abort the demo.
Reason: The certificate is expired since Aug 2009. See screenshot.
Environment
Mac OS X 10.8, Java 1.6 (Apple)

Does the new launcher fix this?
The new launcher has no demo-running capability. It will in the future, but this is not a real 'near' future, there are more important things to add right now
