Answer 1

Tried with the solution but still not working. Even when I tried to download the jdk tar from the Oracle site it still failed at around 30-50MB. Anyway I found an article which talks about it and finally got it fixed!

Oracle Adds License to oracle-java7-installer and Now It Fails (published on March 2014)

Basically the steps are similar except the last one:

sudo apt-get update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
