I have a Java Web Start application, which I've tested on Windows 7, Linux and Mac OS X 10.7 (works fine on all).

On Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion the following error occurs, with no option to choose "Allow".

The error looks like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/7sXoO.png

Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Just found a solution: Go into System prefs -> security and privacy, and check the box that allows applications to be downloaded from anywhere (you might have to click the lock to make changes to this)
