JDK upgrade from lower version to higher supported versions for SPS and PS due to security vulnerabilities.

JDK 1.6, JDK 1.7, JDK 1.8

       1. Stop the policy server
       2. Change the environment variable NETE_JRE_ROOT to the new path where new  JDK version is installed, by replacing the old location.
