Answer 1

The reason is : WHY ORACLE JAVA 7 AND 6 INSTALLERS NO LONGER WORK

If you have an Oracle Support account and you really need Oracle JDK 6 or 7, you can get the installers from the WebUpd8 PPA to work by downloading the binaries and placing them in the following folder:

• /var/cache/oracle-jdk6-installer/ for JDK 6 (you'll need version 6u45)
• /var/cache/oracle-jdk7-installer/ for JDK 7 (you'll need version 7u80 for 32bit and 64bit or 7u60 for arm)

... and then install the oracle-java6-installer or oracle-java7-installer package.
