Installing java 8

Ok so sdkman can do this, and it installs to
/home/vagrant/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java
Even man pages work. But why? MANPATH is not set...
Edit: solved that mystery.
path directory /home/vagrant/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin is not in the config file
adding /home/vagrant/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/man to manpath
Also what are the steps to install java normally in debian? Somehow jvm ends up in
/usr/lib/jvm
and the binaries are linked into /usr/bin or somewhere on the PATH
For now, the requirements
- open licenses only, no catches
- install java to PATH
- install java man pages
- no frankendebian
- no unusual dependencies
- must work with fish
- must be uninstallable
- must be configured entirely upon shell startup
- minimal redirection
- must not take a long time (prefer not to compile)
