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.

Is this package still being maintained?

Hello, Oracle JDK 8u291 has been released.

@bartus The URL is valid. Look down the page and jdk8 is there. Oracle is constantly reworking the site and deep links often go bad. I try to use links that don't go bad very often. I keep the Upstream URL maintained. That's what I use to look for updates.

It's a struggle to find a time when Oracle SSO is working. To get the file I logged in to the error then used a deep link. Unbound variable RED is due to set -u and calling msg when makepkg --nocolor is active. I tried makepkg -m and it worked fine.

@letorbi Notice that modifying the if : already does what the patch does. I get reports that the original links work, but if I switch back to them I get a report within a few days that the links don't work.

syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "."
/usr/share/makepkg/util/message.sh: line 84: RED: unbound variable
:: failed to build jdk8 package(s)

What is this?

The package can be installed without login or manual download, if you just remove a few lines from the PKBUILD. See the following patch for details:
