How to virtualize Oracle Java 8u161 in SWV and AppV format

Backstory: From around Oracle Java 8u121 and up to current date some components in a virtualized Java would stop working if virtualized with AppV and SWV. Example: We have a couple of web app that is launched using JNLP, Applications stopped working from that update when fully virtualized. When started javaws.exe gets closed after around 10 seconds without any output, no errors, nothing.

When possible we always want to make sure all files stay inside the virtual layer, that way we ensure compatibility and integrity of files and folders and we can forcefully close and remove virtual applications and be sure everything in the base Os is stil...
