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.

You can get a mail/password for download from http://bugmenot.com/view/oracle.com

@nougad

Thank you very much for replying!

I found some information regarding that here. https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Platforms

In essence it says that it depends on whether it uses hard float ABI or soft float.

I don't know myself what is true for this particular case and I'm only asking since both packages use the same source. It's not a big deal really.

Again thank you for clarifying!

@apodim: According to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdk-8-readme-2095712.html it's not included in the ARM build:

Note that the JDK on ARM does not include JavaFX.

I don't see any openjfx related files in the package so I assume it's true. Providing java-openjfx would be incorrect.

Please let me know if I'm wrong. Happy to add openjfx if it's included.

Can this provide java-openjfx=8 as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jdk8-arm/ does?

Downloads without Oracle Account are currently available from Adobe/Macromedia at: https://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html

The checksum matches the one on the PKGBUILD file. I didn't check the terms of the download so make sure that you're allowed to download/run that software from Adobe before using it.

Download latest file on Oracle and put file.tar.gz to ~/Download to fix this problem.

As far as the checksums in this PKGBUILD are kept correct, I see no reason for not using https://github.com/frekele/oracle-java/releases as source, when its (for now) available, and the jdk-8uxxx*.tar.gz is not found in ~/Downloads.

So:

1] check ~/Downloads

2] if not found, pull from github

What do you think?

This build is for the official Oracle build of Java, so any other sources should not be taken as reliable/safe/legal, etc., but it seems that Oracle's way of doing things finally caught up with AUR as well. In other distros (Gentoo for instance) you had to manually download the archive and place it in the distfiles folder before running emerge.

With the way Oracle licenses their things I don't think that providing the archives from an alternative source is 100% legal, so don't flag the package "out of date" (it's not).

After Oracle's move to not supply direct download links, it seems that it will be the same case for AUR. @severach: you'll probably need to pin instructions how to obtain and where to place the archive.

For Yaourt users:

  1. Try building and fail, but wait at the restart prompt.
  2. Download the archive from here: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html (requires an account).
  3. Place the downloaded file in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-[your-user-name]/aur-jdk8.
  4. Restart the build in Yaourt.
