2) I installed EJRE java first and I think the Crashplan installer sees that Java is already installed and skips its own Java install. I'm pretty sure the Crashplan installer asks you if you want to install the Java and mine didn't.
3) I'm not in front of the NAS now but I'm pretty sure it is Java version "1.8.0_33", i.e. the EJRE java install.

Another problem I had was that I went to edit the my.service.xml file and it didn't exist. I think maybe this file gets created when you run Crashplan?
