Hi I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue! This is a problem that we do need to address, in that we need to update our install script to install a later version of the JDK and JRE.

However, version 8 can no longer be found in the repositories as Oracle removed support for it earlier this year for those not paying for a commercial license, as it has reached 'End of Public Updates' status. So repository default-jdk and default-jre packages now point directly to openjdk-11. In the meantime if you're happy to use the current supported release version then:
sudo apt-get install default-jre default-jdk
should serve you just fine 😊

However, just so you are aware, going forward we will be offering SDKMan (https://sdkman.io/) as a solution for installing Java. It allows juggling multiple installed versions of Java in a similar manner to how tools like rbenv work with Ruby.
