Due to security errors in javaws this package no longer includes exception.sites file. If you are installing this package then you would find javaws complaining about security issue. To get past this run the following command to open jcontrol:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-jre/jre/bin/jcontrol

Go to the security tab and add the following sites to the exception list:

http://www.topcoder.com
https://www.topcoder.com
http://arena.topcoder.com
https://arena.topcoder.com
https://topcoder.com,

In case you get the following error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)                                                                                                                                                            
topcoder-applet: /home/<username>/.java/deployment/security/exception.sites exists in filesystem

This means that you have already set some exception sites for java. In this case you need to take backup of /home/<username>/.java/deployment/security/exception.sites and install the package with the following command:

yay -S topcoder-applet --overwrite

You would need to manually merge the exception.sites file later.
