Package: openjdk-7-jre-headless
Version: 7u111-2.6.7-2~deb8u1
Severity: important

As per subject, after security upgrade to 7u111, my attempts to launch
a Juniper VPN connection, via a Java Web Start application,
consistently failed. Downgrading back to 7u101 resolves the problem.

Perhaps the update just breaks all JavaWS, I am unsure. The JavaWS
exception is detailed below. On the face of it, it appears to be a
change to some security policy that triggers the problem.
