Installing <code>java8</code> with Homebrew seems to no longer be working. After running: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>brew install caskroom/cask/java8 </code></pre> I get the following error: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Error: Cask 'java8' is unavailable: '/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks/java8.rb' does not exist. </code></pre> Simply doing: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>brew cask install java8 </code></pre> Errors out with: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Error: Cask 'java8' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists. </code></pre> This seems like a recent development because I remember installing it this way a few months ago.

New command is now : <code>brew install --cask homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8</code>

Installing java8 with Homebrew seems to no longer be working. After running:

brew install caskroom/cask/java8

I get the following error:

Error: Cask 'java8' is unavailable: '/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks/java8.rb' does not exist.

Simply doing:

brew cask install java8

Errors out with:

Error: Cask 'java8' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

This seems like a recent development because I remember installing it this way a few months ago. Any suggestions on how to properly install java8 on MacOS nowadays?
