JDK 1.8.0241 update or greater or JDK 11.0.6 or greater Before you run the installer: Set JAVAHOME in the shell window you are using to run the installation. Current Version Name Replaces Old Name Other Legacy Formats; Java 8. Java 8 Update x. 1.8.00x: Java 7. Java 7 Update x. The following downloads are for development only. OpenJDK 8 Windows 64-bit Release date July 22, 2020. Download (168.65 MB) jdk-8u265-x64 MSI. OpenJDK 8 Windows 64-bit Release date July 22, 2020. Download (208.91 MB) jre-8u265-x64 ZIP. JRE 8 Windows 64-bit Release date July 22, 2020. Download (43.83 MB) jdk-8u265-x86 ZIP. 2.1 Installing the Java Development Kit. The most complete and up-to-date versions of the Java Development Kit (JDK) are available from Oracle for Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, and Windows. Versions in various states of development exist for many other platforms, but those versions are licensed and distributed by the vendors of those platforms.
Scrolling down and you get presented with various downloads depending on which operating system you need Java for, Linux, Mac, Solaris or Windows. Assuming that you are using a recent windows machine running windows 10, you would click on the Windows x64 to download the 64 bit version, jdk-8u221-windows-x64.exe. Oracle only gives the ability to download jdk1.8.0211.jdk or jdk1.8.0212.jdk and I don't see a feature to look at historical versions. I'm fairly sure this is a redundant question and I apologize for that but I can't seem to find it anywhere despite searching for a couple of hours at this point.
