java version "1.8.0_172"

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin\javapackager" -version
Java Packager version 9.0.4

Windows 10 Pro, Build 16299.rs3_release_svc_escrow.180502-1908

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Given jdk1.8.0_172, when running '\bin\javapackager.exe -version' the result shows javapackager is from 9.0.4. This also produces a self-contained application with JDK9 when running it with deploy, which is the actual issue, as there is no way to deploy a JDK8 version using javapackager with the latest supported JDK8.

Last time it worked correctly was in jdk1.8.0_152.

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8u161

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Download jdk-8u172-windows-x64.exe. Install.

Run from command line: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin\javapackager" -version

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Java Packager version 8.0
ACTUAL -
Java Packager version 9.0.4

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Revert back to jdk1.8.0_152.

FREQUENCY : always
