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

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.

Yes they are

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"

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

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

The jce_policy-8.zip link kept returning HTML for me so I had to download it manually (needed to accept an agreement).
