To download jdk for now, you need:

  1. go to java.sun.com (browser will redirect you to right path).
  2. create account if you do not have

Installation JDK8 in linux

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html


Latest for now is: 8u301


$ ls jdk*
jdk-8u281-linux-x64.tar.gz

$ tar -xvzpf jdk-8u281-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ sudo mv jdk1.8.0_281/ /opt/
$ sudo ln -s /opt/jdk1.8.0_281/ /opt/jdk



$ rm jdk-8u281-linux-x64.tar.gz



$ sudo vi /etc/profile.d/java8.sh



#### JDK8 #######################

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH

#### JDK8 #######################



$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/java8.sh
$ source /etc/profile.d/java8.sh


Let try to check result:


$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_281"


OpenJDK installation in linux (I recommend do not use OpenJdk without reasons)


$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -yq openjdk-8-jdk

// get possible jdk locations
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

// specify jdk location
$ sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

$ java -version


also you can install maven from packages

$ sudo apt-get install -yq maven
