Last night I’ve learnt Oracle changed the Java licensing which broke all channels of installation typically used in Linux.

Still, you can obtain & install Java and JavaWS free-of-charge manually for personal and developmental use. This is how to proceed:

• Download Java tar.gz from Oracle website. For most users Linux x64 would be the right choice.
• Unpack the tar archive (you may need to change 8u211 into right version)

cd ~/Download
tar xpfz jre-8u211-linux-x64.tar.gz

• Move folder to `/opt/java`

sudo mkdir -p /opt/java
sudo mv jre1.8.0_211 /opt/java

• Remove or rename symbolic links if they exists

which java
which javaws
ls -la /usr/bin/java*
sudo rm /usr/bin/java*

• Link new java version

sudo ln -s /opt/java/jre1.8.0_211/bin/java /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /opt/java/jre1.8.0_211/bin/javaws /usr/bin

Now everything should work just fine 🙂
