JAVA being blocked because of security level. However, I am aunable to alter security levels in Ubuntu.

I have dated to the latest JAVA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer



pst007x@pst007x-Serval-Professional:~$ java -version

java version "1.7.0_45"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

I get the error:

JAVA(TM) WAS BLOCKED BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF DATE: RUN THIS TIME? / UPDATE?

I select:

RUN THIS TIME

Then a pop up:

Your Java version is out of date.

Click Update to install the recommended latest version. Click Block to
stop Java content in your browser or Later to continue and be reminded
again later.

I select LATER, then it fails, saying:

Your security settings have blocked the application from running with an
out of date or expired version of JAVA

.... But I am running the latest Linux version...

Has Ubuntu stopped supporting JAVA now?

Help please! :-)

JAVA website:

You have the recommended Java installed (1.8.0-ea).
