EVALUATION We used to get system JRE entry without any deployment config till b25. problem is in JREInfo.java, validateHomeJRE2SystemList_int() the fix for 6706472 caused the problem.

SUGGESTED FIX private static void validateHomeJRE2SystemList_int() { JREInfo jreHome = getHomeJRE_int(); if (jreHome != null) { int idx = findJREByPath_int(jreHome, _jres); // add home JRE into the system list if ( idx < 0 || jreHome.isSystemJRE() == false ) { JREInfo sys = new JREInfo(jreHome); sys.setSystemJRE(true); addJRE_int(sys, true); } } }
