Can't install Java9 due to download.oracle.com HTTP request sent throws 404 error

Question

I can't install automated Java9 installation in UBUNTU16 machine which was working fine since long. Is this due to intermittent network connectivity of download.oracle.com server? It usually works fine and all of sudden stopped working now. Is there anything wrong in below or any changes you suggest to make it working?

Please suggest work around for automated installation so just running command it will install Java9. Same issue with Java8 as well.

Command:

echo "===> Add webupd8 repository..."  && \
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list  && \
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list  && \
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886  && \
apt-get update  && \
echo "===> Install Java9"  && \
echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | debconf-set-selections  && \
echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | debconf-set-selections  && \
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y oracle-java9-installer oracle-java9-set-default --assume-yes

Answer 2

No.

The Oracle web server returns a redirect link to a file that turns out no to be there. This should be a temporary error, so try again later.

OpenJDK 9 should be available in the Ubuntu repositories directly, and may be a usable alternative depending on your needs.
