Description
When one of the sandbox app warning dialogs appears, it may have an Update button if the version of the JRE is old/insecure (example attached).  The update button currently opens a browser window to java.com.  Instead it should open java.com/download.
Comments
Removing "8.0.0" from fixVersion field. The fixVersion field should only hold a single release value. Use backports to track fixes in multiple releases.

Yes, thank you. The Download landing page (java.com/download) is more focused on the download process than the home page and we are working to reduce the number of clicks (at least by one) so this will be the best route for the user.
