Oracle recently locked down their downloads because they are a [REDACTED] company.

Fortunately you don't have to use an account:

1.8.0_201 - Linux x64

1.8.0_201 - Windows x64

(for the Java 11 links, you may have to use wget. Example:

wget -c --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/11.0.11%2B9/ab2da78f32ed489abb3ff52fd0a02b1c/jdk-11.0.11_windows-x64_bin.exe 

To create your own links, you can follow this link and use inspect element to find the parts of the url.

If you are comfortable with IDEs and debugging, you may appreciate a DCE patched JDK. This will allow you to reload java files during game runtime. The version of DCE you will want for NFM patches an existing Java 8u181 install, so make sure you have that already. Preferably a second install, to keep things clean, but that's not required.

Download the Java 8 update 181 binary and follow the instructions under Usage
