I have been trying to install the latest version of java-8. However, I found out that the PPA ppa:webupd8team/java has been discontinued due to changes in the java licence.

How should I update my java to 8.0_201 or 8.0_211 now?

Thanks!

I did search for all PPAs on special launchpad page.

And it gave some alternatives like Hellenic Schools Technical Support Team team PPA - they have packages for Ubuntu

You can add this repository and install Java 8 from it with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ts.sch.gr/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
