it doesnot work now. i tried below command, gives: 401 Authorization Required Username/Password Authentication Failed.

wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u211-b12/478a62b7d4e34b78b671c754eaaf38ab/jdk-8u211-linux-x64.tar.gz" -O jdk-8u211-linux-x64.tar.gz

any command to sign in oracle account- accept the license agreement - download the jdk tar.gz from cli?
the reason is becoz;

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. Please review the terms carefully before downloading and using this product. An FAQ is available here.

Oracle Java downloads now require logging in to an Oracle account to download Java updates, like the latest Oracle Java 8u211 / Java SE 8u212. Because of this I cannot update the PPA with the latest Java (and the old links were broken by Oracle).

For this reason, THIS PPA IS DISCONTINUED (unless I find some way around this limitation).

Oracle Java 8 is now stable. Below you'll find instructions on how to install it in Ubuntu / Linux Mint via a PPA repository. The PPA supports JDK8 for both 32bit and 64bit as well as ARM (ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI - there's no JDK 8 ARM Soft Float ABI archive available for download on Oracle's website).
please help!

This worked for me, for getting 8u131 version, which I needed: wget -c --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u131-b11/d54c1d3a095b4ff2b6607d096fa80163/jdk-8u131-linux-x64.rpm

I got this from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10268583/downloading-java-jdk-on-linux-via-wget-is-shown-license-page-instead, which lists commands for various versions.

None of the above commands seems to work anymore.

I was able to download it with the following:

wget \
--continue \
--no-check-certificate \
-O jdk-11.0.4_linux-x64_bin.rpm \
--header "Cookie: oraclelicense=a" \
"https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/11.0.4+10/cf1bbcbf431a474eb9fc550051f4ee78/jdk-11.0.4_linux-x64_bin.rpm?AuthParam=1567225725_a1c0cdc68062ddd501584d78c7030671"
