Unable to run Ubooquity 2.1.5 with Java 8.0 451

I've been struggling to run Ubooquity with the latest Java update.

Usually, there's no trouble, I just redirect my shortcut to the new javaw.exe when the version gets updated however this time when I do that nothing happens and the log shows:

It looks like I can run the V3.02 beta but I'd vastly prefer to continue using V2
