This is annoying. https://java.com/en/download/ https://java.com/en/download/ will give you the download without signing in. But if you happen to be directed to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/ https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/ instead, say through a google search (which is the top search result on Google for me), you have to login.
- taftster 7y agojava.com will give you a JRE distribution only. e.g. all the parts that you need to run java, not the parts that you need to develop it. The oracle.com link that you refer to is the source for the Oracle JDK, which includes the compiler, etc.
- jplayer01 7y agoNo, scroll down. It gives you the option to download the JRE as well, and that's the one that requires a login. If this were some obscure link you had to go out of your way to reach, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, depending on the alignment of the moon and the sun, the link might be the top of the Google search or it might be second or third. I refreshed a couple of times and got slightly different results, it was always near the top though. https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre... This is the direct link Google gives me and it's the one that requires a login.
