openjdk-8 for Debian 10

I need to install openjdk-8 on a docker container based on the latest python image (debian 10), but the openjdk-8-jdk package has been removed from the stable debian repository. I've already tried the usualapt-get install openjdk-8-jdkand apt-cache search openjdk only returns the openjdk-11.

The answer over at SO is nicer:

wget -qO - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository --yes
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adoptopenjdk-8-hotspot

I've managed to solve it by manually downloading the packages with wget:

RUN wget \
&& wget \
&& wget \
&& wget 

and then install it using the dkpg with the -i --force-all options to install all the required dependencies:

RUN dpkg -i --force-all openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u212-b03-2~deb9u1_amd64.deb openjdk-8-jre_8u212-b03-2~deb9u1_amd64.deb openjdk-8-jdk-headless_8u212-b03-2~deb9u1_amd64.deb openjdk-8-jdk_8u212-b03-2~deb9u1_amd64.deb 

As "addon" to the answer of Emil Chitas using wget:

• Check the debian site for the current version (e.g. 8u275-b01-1~deb9u1)
• Copy the version string and set environment-variable before download
• start download
• install

Download with:

VER=8u275-b01-1~deb9u1 \
ARCH=amd64 \
&& wget \
&& wget \
&& wget \
&& wget 

Install with:

dpkg -i --force-all openjdk-8*
