Resolution / Workaround
This is because Java 8 needs write access to a directory.
To fix it:
Preferred: add the directory to the bbuser home directory:
mkdir /home/bbuser/.java/.systemPrefs
chown bbuser /home/bbuser/.java/.systemPrefs
OR give bbuser ownership of the java system level version of it:
chown -R bbuser /etc/.java/.systemPrefs
Target Release
