I have worked a bit further in order to be able to use a jdk1.8.0_131 instead of jdk1.8.0_74. Now I am able to use jdk1.8.0_131 - I just have to change the jdk1.8.0_131/jre/lib/security/java.security file. I have to remove MD5 from these linies:jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize ...
