Quick note: this isn't my code, it's my code changed into Nim code then to Java... But the friend who wrote the Java code (and Nim) wrote it on repl, and left for vacation last night, and I just tried to use it today. (woops, shoulda done that last night). Kinda a woops moment, I forgot you can't use it from a browser.
Also, i'm an idiot with code.

Don't tell me I'm an idiot when it comes to code, I just told you that. I have a few scrappy Ruby codes to prove I'm an idiot.

Java's jdk is available without an account or cost. The jdk is still free for personal use. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Yes. That. I clicked the link and it asked me to log in. I ain't creating an account. I'll only use it once and I'm not wasting my time on that....

Weird that jdk 8 needs an account. Here is jdk 12 which does not need an account. Just accept the agreement and download.

If you specifically need jdk 8, I found an older version on my PC I could upload to something like dropbox.

Need 8, specifically, unfortunately.... That would be helpful, thank you...

Just make a disposable account lol, pretty sure you don't even need to confirm your account to gain access to the download page.

Again, point of that bein? I've been on the verge of breaking down and doing it....

The whole account information is pretty in-depth. They want your name, company address, job title, phone number, etc. Don't know why they need to collect this information.

The upload has roughly 45 minutes left since my internet isn't the fastest thing in the world.

Ah, yeah, heck no *not* making an account, I'm sorry Deadmaster. I'll wait- thank you so much Wither.

You can create a disposable account. I literally filled all the boxes with the word "Test" and used a disposable email.

My name on there is "Test Test" lol

I'm surprised that even worked.... The fact they ask for all that makes me nervous, though... Still kinda ridiculous the common person can't just download it...

It is. I feel like if you actually wanted an account you could just enter the basic info like email, password, and name with actual info, and then just put N/A for thing like company address and stuff.

Sure, but can ya see why it makes me nervous?...

It is done. Here is the dropbox link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/85vyviqvfqncj9r/jdk-8u201-windows-x64.exe?dl=0

Thank you, and sorry again. (I went afk cause family for graduation.)

It's no problem. Kinda stupid that Oracle put the account requirement for personal users. I can understand it for commercial use, but for a person who just wants to program in their spare time or wants to start learning to program, they aren't going to have a company and all that other required information.
