[reitermarkus]

Can you find a working URL for it?

[ixidion]

URL is: https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u201-b09/42970487e3af4f5aa5bca3f542482c60/jdk-8u201-macosx-x64.dmg
But works only if a cookie is set before: "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie"

[flaviogof]

@reitermarkus please, check the comment above.

[Enrico204]

Apparently OpenJDK early access is "closed", so now Oracle JDK is the only one available (see https://jdk.java.net/8/ )

[Enrico204]

I made a PR #58326 with a new cask for Oracle JDK 8. According the OpenJDK link above, this is the only JDK 8 version left.

Fixed in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask-versions/pull/6934
