Title:
  No properties installed in /etc/java-8-openjdk/

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Folder /etc/java-8-openjdk/ is not created and all properties and cfg files are missing after installing from
      pool/universe/o/openjdk-8/openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u66-b17-1_amd64.deb
  with:
      apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless openjdk-8-jdk

  These files should be installed, but are all missing:
  root@ThinkPad-T500:/# dpkg -S /etc/java-8-openjdk/*.*
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/images/cursors/cursors.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/accessibility.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/swing.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/management/snmp.acl
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/sound.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/jvm-amd64.cfg
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/logging.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/calendars.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/flavormap.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/management/jmxremote.password
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/content-types.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/psfont.properties.ja
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/psfontj2d.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.policy
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/blacklisted.certs
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/net.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/management/jmxremote.access
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/management/management.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/nss.cfg

  In consequence, e.g. NetBeans IDE 8.1 fails with:
  root@ThinkPad-T500:/# /usr/local/netbeans-8.1/bin/netbeans 
  Unrecognized option: -client
  Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
  Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

  NetBeans IDE 8.1 still freezes while starting when pinning to 8u45 from vivid and copying jvm-amd64.cfg from java-7 because only 3 files where installed:
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/accessibility.properties
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security
  openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64: /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.policy

  NetBeans IDE 8.1 runs fine with java-7 after applying the workaround
  from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808860

  How did I ran into this situation?
  NetBeans IDE 8.1 ran fine for long time in my Ubuntu 15.04 with java-8.
  Last week I upgraded to 15.10.
  Since then it freezed after 2 minutes.
  Because I first didn't know about above mentioned bug, I tried several things including new installations of NetBeans and JDK. While doing this at some moment I deleted the /etc/java-8-openjdk/ folder, which was filled like the above list from former installations. I thought, I could delete it in assuming it would become created again when installing openjdk-8-jdk package. But this was not the case. Don't know, which build of jdk-8 I should install to get the files back, 8u45 only did recover 3 files of them.

  Because with 8u66-b17-1 no security properties where installed, I file
  this bug as a security vulnerability.
