in your PKGBUILD. file the link was https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u212-b10/59066701cf1a433da9770636fbc4c9aa/jdk-8u212-linux-x64.tar.gz but the right link after accepting the license is https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u212-b10/59066701cf1a433da9770636fbc4c9aa/jdk-8u212-linux-x64.tar.gz
it should be /otn instead of /otn-pub

According to Oracle, the recommendation is precisely to download the odd packages, the even packages are not stable as the odds, they contain some non critical fixes which appears in the next odd version and should be download only if some of the fixes is absolutely necessary. Take a look to the URL.
Other thing to take into account is that from version 211/212 the oracle license has changed and is not free as the previous one. Commercial license is now put in the builds and you need to pay to use it, that's the reason why now you need to download using credentials. 201/202 were the last packages with the Binary Code License, so pay attention to it at the moment of distribute your apps built with the new licensed java.
@frealgagu:
I changed the jre8 url to java.com to show where I got the file. This only works for jre8. No other jre is available there. New Private Window and click through jre8 url and you will see that the download is available without a login using BundleID.
Good to see that someone has found a tolerable solution to this problem. I have other packages that need this. The implementation seems a little buggy.
The only way I can find to download Java files without a login is with a BundleID. Hashes are easy to find but I couldn't find the BundleID for 8u212 so I used the BundleID for 8u211 so at least one of all the Javas would download automatically. This should make jre8 very popular.
@severach
How did you do with jre8 to download automatically?
Could you add a DLAgent like oracle-sqldeveloper to print a note to user for dowload the archive indicating the URL.
Why are you using the even downloads in jdk and odd downloads for jre?

Thanks in advance.
There's no way that change from Oracle is not against some rules of the GDPR!
let's hope a God mode programmer, link with the browser and request the login, so one does not have to be using the manual form to download the installer. ;)
Steps to install jdk
place in console> git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/jdk8.git
enter the folder> cd jdk8
then
enter the oracle website
create or login with your user
Download the version indicated by pkgbuild
- choose the type of architecture x86, x64, etc
- important to download with the extension .tar.gz
Save to the jdk8 folder that you created with git clone
in console inside the folder jdk8> makepkg -cCifs
the installation will begin
be aware that at the end you ask for a password,
depending on how you configured your system.
It is possible to try this https://stackoverflow.com/a/10959815 ? Or break some rule of aur ?
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.
I updated the links & hashes didnt need changed, just installed it 5 min ago. https://pastebin.com/eTv5ggm2
