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.

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things I don't think that providing the archives from an alternative source is 100% legal, so don't flag the package "out of date" (it's not).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

Sorry. MD5 checksums fixed.

flittermice commented on 2019-04-21 10:08 (UTC)

I had to change the MD5sum to: md5sums_armv7h=('519fd3db9a5c6fc92d8cafb46e3b165b')

@thunder72: Your browser authentication won't carry over to the PKGBUILD. The only way that might work is if you copy the entire link, and my link becomes irrelevant. The hash is the same for everyone. All that changes is the AuthParam.

@muhviehstarr: That link is no good. The AuthParam is only good for a half an hour.

I've considered checking ~/Downloads and changing the source if I find the file there. That would let you download in the browser then build the package without moving the file by hand. No good for non GUI installs. How many Arch gods would smite me for this?

direct download link for manual usage:

@severach I know that I had to login on the browser and accept the license then update the package but the issue is with the link in the PKGBUILD file not related to authentication, I had edited the PKGBUILD in the process of the update but still the hash and other requirement that I couldn't fulfill

Important Oracle JDK License Update

The Oracle JDK License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019.

The new Oracle Technology Network License Agreement for Oracle Java SE is substantially different from prior Oracle JDK licenses. The new license permits certain uses, such as personal use and development use, at no cost -- but other uses authorized under prior Oracle JDK licenses may no longer be available.

This means the direct download without a Oracle account is not available anymore. You need to download the sources manually and put next to the PKGBUILD.
