To download any JRE or JDK from the Oracle download page without signing in, go to the downloads page for the version you want (such as https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/jdk12-downloads.html) and click on the Download link of your choice.

  1. When a window pops up saying you need to accept the license agreement, check the box that says you agree. But instead of clicking on the green Download link (which will send you to the login page), right-click the download link and select Copy Link Location.

    • NOTE: If clicking Download doesn't show a box and takes you straight to the login page instead, you will need to clear your cookies on the Java website (or open in incognito mode).
  2. Paste the copied link into a text editor like Notepad. You'll see the link points to something like oracle.com/webapps/redirect/signon, but it has a query attached that starts with "nexturl=". The URL that follows nexturl= is the actual link that will download the file to your computer.

If you want to download any JRE or JDK without signing into Oracle, go to the downloads page for the version you want (such as https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/jdk12-downloads.html) and right-click on the Download link of your choice. Select "Copy Link Location" and then paste it into a text editor like Notepad.

NOTE: you may need to change the otn in the path to otn-pub as described below.

i don't exactly understand ,i've been trying for 4 days to get this till i stumbled across this and i thought it would help, it would be easier if you could just write down the website of what its meant to be at the end so i can skip the log in bit.

Oracle is getting greedy, all i needed was java 8 to run a spigot minecraft server. Then i got redirected to make an account. The thing that makes me mad the most is how much information is required to sign up. Your exact location, the job you work at(What if you are a youtuber?), your work phone, your full name, and i read the fine text, so no thank you, oracle and thank you for destroying java and becoming the definition of adware.
