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

It depends on the os you put on the virtualbox, the one you installed has ubuntu so you will want to follow instructions from here

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
