Thanks @opendevnet. That curl variant looks cool.

I'm new to GIT, sorry if this is breaking any kind of etiquette... Combined the two codes above into one script. Its smaller, but may be more difficult to read for some. It does indeed download the latest 1.7 & 1.8 JDK's as configured. Two questions:

1. How do you know what those URLs will be?
2. Can you do this for the JRE as well?

-Inet

Begin KSH Script

!/bin/ksh

Configuration

Method=curl
HOST=http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk
set -A BASE /8u40-b26/jdk-8u40 /7u75-b13/jdk-7u75

@inetquestion,
I usually check the Oracle website for the URL path of the new version; more so specifically for the build number of the JDK version.
You can add JRE as well to the list "set -A PLATFORMS" in your script.

Guys, note the difference in the base URL:
Works: https://edelivery.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/
Doesn't: http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/

@shlomoa,

The current script should work fine. I tested it just now.
Please check the below snippet:

EPIC

Really nice script. There is just one minor bug, because you cannot garantee that update version numbers stay below 99.

## this will break for update numbers > 99
JDK_VERSION=${BASE_URL_8: -8}

## FIX: extract last part of url (only valid if using bash) 
JDK_VERSION=${BASE_URL_8##*/}

BaseURL for Java 7u60 (if somebody needs that):

http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u60-b19/jdk-7u60

Example for OSX:

curl -L -O -H "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" -k "https://edelivery.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u66-b17/jdk-8u66-macosx-x64.dmg"

Thx! solved my problems.

Line 25, add: "-linux-x64.rpm" "-linux-x86.rpm"

Has anyone tried to do the same using windows bitsadmin utility.

Is there an easy way for a script to get a list of the available jdk versions?

JDK 121 has released but this url does not seem to work http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u121-b13/jdk-8u121-linux-x64.tar.gz. Anyone has any thought?

It looks like they added some kind of hash to the path.

Anyone have 7u80 URL by chance?

@DrGirlfriend,
Now you need Oracle account to download old (archive) versions 😢
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html

It seems Oracle added some kind of hash to the download url like "e9e7ea248e2c4826b92b3f075a80e441"
so links like
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u121-b13/jdk-8u121-linux-x64.tar.gz
won't work anymore.

👍

You can get the real download URL's from the javascript array in the download page. That said, there seems to be something else going on as well now.

I just regex match the full page source with e.g. "(http://download.*windows-i586.exe)"

Sending the correct cookies, you will then get a redirect 302 to a location with an AuthParam hash

Your URL must start with edelivery.oracle.com not the download.oracle.com as they've supplied, but is otherwise identical.
You'll get a redirect to a url with an authparam parameter next (this is likely different every time)

Yes, now you have to get account on oracle.com to be able to download old version.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html

Downloading these releases requires an oracle.com account

@Alexhha having to create an account to download old software and breaking every Ansible java playbook in use is a new Feature You'll Love From Oracle™

@P7h I would recommend use sed to extract last part instead cut + 2 rev cmds

Line 22:
JDK_VERSION=echo $BASE_URL_8 | sed -r "s#.+/##"

Has anyone figured out how to generate the hash code?

@austinheap
Exactly. Have to switch to OpenJDK.

Has anyone figured out how to generate the hash code?

Still cannot figure out, anyone has a solution besides OpenJDK?

you can still download latest Java version without OTN account. And the link (with generated hash code) you can get with help of this site https://lv.binarybabel.org/catalog/java/jdk8.

The site is down :( does anyone have an alternative?

I wrote a shell script to automatically download Oracle SE JDK, support RHEL/Debian/SUSE and their variants distrobutions.
I created a version selection menu to support both Java 9 and Java 8 installation, add sha256 hash check to make source package is verified and authorized.
With parameter -h will list help info about the usage of the script.
Github url is https://github.com/MaxdSre/ShellScript/blob/master/assets/software/OracleSEJDK.sh.

Your script worked like a charm!
However, maybe it would be better if /usr/lib/jvm/default-java would link to the same location as JAVA_HOME, namely /opt/OracleJDK?

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/OracleJDK

$ sudo update-java-alternatives -l
awk: fatal: cannot open file `/usr/lib/jvm/*.jinfo' for reading (No such file or directory)
default-java                              /usr/lib/jvm/default-java

$ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/ | grep java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 Feb 25  2016 default-java -> java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug  2 09:25 java-8-oracle

It seems like Oracle has changed the way that java can be downloaded. You now need to have an oracle account and login before you can download some of the archived java versions. Does anyone have a bash script that is able to login as well as download these files?

Hi guys, Some one has a specific version link like 7u131 b12.

Hey guys, great resource! Does anyone has the download link for the latest jdk8 8u192 b12 release? Thanks!
Edited: 8u192 b12 link: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u192-b12/750e1c8617c5452694857ad95c3ee230/server-jre-8u192-linux-x64.tar.gz
