Download the desired JDK archive (.tar.gz) from Oracle website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Usage: sh java-installer.sh [options] jdk-archive-file.tar.gz
Available options are: --remove-openjdk Removes (purges) OpenJDK from the system. Using this option ensures that OpenJDK is not present in the system, therefore no application will use it instead of Oracle JDK. Use this option with caution, as yum may remove other packages through dependencies. Before yum start removing OpenJDK from the system it will ask for your confirmation and display a complete list of software it is going to remove along with OpenJDK.
--help Displays this help message.
