Mountain Lion still gives us Dashboard.
Many Widgets that I recently downloaded aren't accepted by the OS for security reasons.
Are there any Widgets that pass the Security and are available to users?
If so, it would be nice that they be identified as such for Mountain Lion.

I think that Gatekeeper isn't allowing you to install the widgets > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290
In order to install the widgets:
1. Right-click the widget file and choose Open, or:
2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and choose "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"
Hi Mende 1
I've been able to install a widget, for example Bubble Bonanza but then once placed on the Dashboard, the programme indicates that a Module is missing.
If I proceed further to obtain the module, I found it to be a Java Web Start or Java version 7 update 10.
Is this recommended?
Apple has blocked Java because of a security problem, so you have to wait until Oracle releases an update to fix the problem
Do you have any idea when Oracle will fix the problem?
They have already released an update.
So what does this mean?
Should I update the Module?
or
what steps needs to be accomplished before updating the Module?
Well you need to download the updated version of Java from the Oracle website.
