As of today, Oracle licensing has changed and the JDK cannot be downloaded from Oracle any longer without logging in.
This happens when oraclejdk8 is specified.

@stevespringett Sorry for this issue, could you provide us a link to a build showing the error you are getting? Thanks!

Here’s an example build:
[https://travis-ci.org/DependencyTrack/dependency-track/builds/520954849](https://travis-ci.org/DependencyTrack/dependency-track/builds/520954849)
I’ve since changed the build to use openjdk and its working fine.

Same issue here. I also changed to openjdk8 and it started working again.
Maybe you can add a note to the documentation about the “oraclejdk8” jdk?

Hey @phax, sorry for the troubles.
Unfortunately, something seems to have changed on Oracle’s servers that was making JDK runtime installation to fail. See the following for more details: [https://github.com/sormuras/bach/issues/51](https://github.com/sormuras/bach/issues/51).
Following on from that, I just did some tests before writing you back and it seems that the issue got fixed as I’m now able to install this JDK again (i.e. `oraclejdk8`). Hence, could you try to restart your previously failing build and let me know if it’s fixed on your side as well?
Thanks!

@dominic Thanks for your response. I extended my scripts and added oraclejdk8 in parallel to openjdk8 but it fails: [https://travis-ci.org/phax/ph-pdf-layout/jobs/526322862](https://travis-ci.org/phax/ph-pdf-layout/jobs/526322862) - hth
Edit: but openjdk11 on trusty works again 😃

Further update: oraclejdk8 on trusty seems to work fine: [https://travis-ci.org/phax/ParserGeneratorCC](https://travis-ci.org/phax/ParserGeneratorCC) - there is a problem in xenial only

@dominic - I am having the same problem with building TestNG code. I am seeing this error from the last two days.
Here’s the error information
```
Installing oraclejdk8
export JAVA_HOME=~/oraclejdk8
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
~/bin/install-jdk.sh --target "/home/travis/oraclejdk8" --workspace "/home/travis/.cache/install-jdk" --feature "8" --license "BCL"
Ignoring license option: BCL -- using GPLv2+CE by default
install-jdk.sh 2019-07-17
Expected feature release number in range of 9 to 14, but got: 8
The command "~/bin/install-jdk.sh --target "/home/travis/oraclejdk8" --workspace "/home/travis/.cache/install-jdk" --feature "8" --license "BCL"" failed and exited with 3 during
```
From the error it looks to me that jdk8 is no longer available and we need to choose at least 9.

@krmahadevan Your builds got migrated to our Xenial image because you don’t specify a `dist:` in your .travis.yml file. Please add `dist: trusty` to move them back on Trusty where this should work.
