You're running OpenJDk (Open Java) -- the prompt is for Oracle Java... That would be my guess - it maybe dependent on Oracle...
I would hope OpenJDK would be suffice... BUT.....


If you're wanting to try Oracle - here's a link..

You can snapshot/timeshift/ make a back up point to try and revert back...

Getting this popup.  Have a class starting soon and can't get this working.



When I follow the instructions at this site https://mediaserver.thinkorswim.com/installer/install.html, I get the following:

You are about to add the following PPA:
 The Oracle JDK License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019.


The new Oracle Technology Network License Agreement for Oracle Java SE is substantially different from prior Oracle JDK licenses. The new license permits certain uses, such as personal use and development use, at no cost -- but other uses authorized under prior Oracle JDK licenses may no longer be available. Please review the terms carefully before downloading and using this product. An FAQ is available here: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/oracle-jdk-faqs.html


Oracle Java downloads now require logging in to an Oracle account to download Java updates, like the latest Oracle Java 8u211 / Java SE 8u212. Because of this I cannot update the PPA with the latest Java (and the old links were broken by Oracle).


For this reason, THIS PPA IS DISCONTINUED (unless I find some way around this limitation).


Oracle Java (JDK) Installer (automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK8). There are no actual Java files in this PPA.

Update: Oracle Java 9 has reached end of life: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html


The PPA supports Ubuntu 18.10, 18.04, 16.04, 14.04 and 12.04.
