JDK installation instructions on Linux obsolete with new Oracle license

Question

Hello,

To install the JDK (Ubuntu 18.4.2), I am following the instructions (https://www.knowage-suite.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/How-to-InstallConfigure-JDK-Linux.pdf), but when I type "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java" I got an error:

"The Oracle JDK License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019. ... For this reason, THIS PPA IS DISCONTINUED (unless I find some way around this limitation). ..."

(more info at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html)

I'd kindly ask you to update the installation procedure with the necessary steps to perform JDK installation with the new licensing policy.

Thank you very much,

Marco D'Aurelio
