rtpHarry commented on issue #618: JDK Download Url Is 404 When Clicked In VsCode
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/618#issuecomment-454827798
Prompt fix! I'm still going through the process though and it seems that the url is wrong anyway.
After installing the JDK from [that url](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads), I get this now:
```
> cordova run android
[cordova] Android Studio project detected
[cordova] ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
[cordova] JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\java\jdk-11.0.2
[cordova] Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.
```
My suspicion is that it is a bug that is failing to parse a double-digit version number now that its on v11, however that doesn't matter as the docs are clear:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#java-development-kit-jdk
They say that you have to install JDK v8.
The v8 download links *are* further down on the [main download url](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) but it's not intuitive that you should install an old version when the top download is an lts release.
A possible replacement link, that only includes the v8 downloads is:
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
