Answer 1

Add below lines in your Vagrantfile , It will install Java 8 (accepting licenses) and also set the Environmental variables in your guest VM:

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties
echo oracle-java8-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
echo "Setting environment variables for Java 8.."
sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java8-set-default

Moreover, you can refer Creating and Provisioning VM using Vagrant
