Direct downloads are no longer available. Create your Oracle account, download, and put in with the PKGBUILD.

New and improved. Now you can just download to ~/Downloads then run the update.

For those running tiling window managers like dwm and don't have a XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR or don't know how to set it, just put the tar.gz file in the same build directory. If anyone is having trouble downloading the new JDK8 261 update just follow the Pinned comment instruction about creating an oracle account, then download the x64 .tar.gz (or your architecture's) then from your browser Copy Download Link which will look something like this: https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u261-b12/a4634525489241b9a9e1aa73d9e118e6/jdk-8u261-linux-x64.tar.gz?AuthParam=1595086755_e25e5744730391bb437a6b58a2460f0c

In the direct download link you will get the version-buildID-hash right after "jdk/" in this case my direct download link looks like: -8u261- (minor) -b12- (build) -a4634525489241b9a9e1aa73d9e118e6 (hash)

Modify the PKGBUILD and add those.

PKGEXT can now be '.pkg.tar.zst' ?

I am having an issue relating to the jce_policy-8.zip file. This does not appear to be available from oracle anymore, I am unable to download it manually. ERROR: Failure while downloading https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jce/8/jce_policy-8.zip

From Oracle's information provided here https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jce-all-downloads.html: The unlimited policy files for earlier releases available here are required only for JDK 8, 7, and 6 updates earlier than 8u161, 7u171, and 6u16. On those versions and later the policy files are included, but not enabled by default.

With the latest being 8u251, can we exclude these from attempting to download, or is this still required?

I am unable to install JDK8 without the JCE policy. Any assistance is appreciated.

does not work at all..filename is jdk-13.0.2 it's looking for 8u241...??? trying to give it the files it wants..fixing sums, and it still crash burns..changing sources[1] to tarball didn't work either

Sooo its not "the arch way", i extracted the tarball to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-13.0.2-oracle and used "archlinux-java set jdk-13.0.2-oracle". I see the PKGBUILD has some provides i'm missing this way (ex. "java-environment-jdk=${_major}", "java-environment=${_major}"), not sure how relevant this will be, but as far as everything is concerned.."java works"

Please do not post alternate sources. They are not legal. Advertising will get them taken down by Oracle or too much traffic. Keep it a secret. ==> ERROR: Hubo fallos durante la descarga de manual://jdk-8u241-linux-x64.tar.gz Cancelando...

Note the correct way to use XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR is to simply use the output of this command xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD

lyler commented on 2019-07-26 17:13

For those who don't use ~/Downloads as their default download folder, could the PKGBUILD be made to respect $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR if present?
