Installing Oracle Java on a headless VM

Oracle requires you to login and accept a license agreement before downloading the JDK. This is tiresome especially if your VM has no display. This is a workaround for the tiresomeness.

In a browser on the host machine

1. Browse to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html or go to the archive page for an older version
2. Select the correct version of Java
3. Accept License Agreement
4. Login to Oracle - the setup file starts to download
