Oracle Java 8 version gets errors on Ubuntu 18.04.

Using today alfinstall.sh script I got the following errors:

Install Java JDK.
This will install Oracle Java 8 version of Java. If you prefer OpenJDK
you need to download and install that manually.

Finished installing Oracle Java 8

the script did not recognize the error and continued on.

That was quick to test! Didn't have the proper test environment for 18.04. You can probably just carry on installing the rest, and then manually install Oracle Java in a way that works. If you find out how, you can update the issue, and I'll try to update the script.

Hi,

no way.

I reverted to Ubuntu 16.04 and alfinstall.sh seems to have no problem with Java.

Thanks.

With the current issues on Oracle Java , perhaps it is best to stick to the default openJDK that ships with Ubuntu 18. There is a number of users that are editing the dpkg config file to work around the 404, but I found the easy way was a manual install and using the alternative commands system to map /usr/bin/java to the install directory of choice.

The script is now changed to use OpenJDK, so closing this issue.
