    UPDATE: We finished our analysis of the EULA and determined that we are able to provide this update in the Package Library. The information below is now outdated.

    Oracle no longer offers a freely redistributable version of Java 8 JRE. If you need to use the JRE in your environment you are required to have a service contract with Oracle:
    https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/javase-license.html
    https://www.oracle.com/java/java-se-subscription.html

    Because of these changes, we are no longer able to offer this specific version of Java in the Package Library. Unless we are able to reach an agreement with Oracle you may need to try alternative options. Currently, we are researching pre-compiled versions of OpenJDK (https://openjdk.java.net) like Amazon Corretto (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/index.html) and AdoptOpenJDK (https://adoptopenjdk.net/). We hope to add one of these solutions to the Package Library soon.
