Oracle JRE 8 must have a deployment.properties file present.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-66911	JRE8-UX-000030	SV-81401r1_rule		Medium

Description
By default no deployment.properties file exists; thus, no system-wide deployment exists. The file must be created. The deployment.properties file is used for specifying keys for the Java Runtime Environment. Each option in the Java control panel is represented by property keys. These keys adjust the options in the Java control panel based on the value assigned to that key. Without the deployment.properties file, setting particular options for the Java control panel is impossible.
