Hello. I just earn the level 3. Now i need to install Intelliji and a JDK. I already have Intelliji but, when i click on the link for install JDK 8, they want me to creat a Oracle account, but the tutorial video don't mention it. Furthermore, for creat a Oracle account i need to give a lot of information, even the name of my socity and my post.
I creat a account for free but i need to tel them my job ? It's seems weird. And i am a student, what i can say ?
I am totaly lost and i need your help. Thank you and sorry if i do not speak english very well.
Do i need a oracle account to install jdk 8

It is true that Oracle requires you to create an account in order to download the JDK. However, you can still use a free version of the JDK, which should suffice for your purposes as a student.
If you're uncomfortable with providing information about your job or company, you can simply state that you're a student or leave those fields blank. Oracle may use your information for marketing purposes, but it is not necessary for you to provide it in order to download the JDK.

Yes, you do need an Oracle account to be able to download JDK, however please feel free to put "NA" in the fields where you don't want to provide information. Phone number can be something like +123456789, as well as something random in the address/city/zipcode. Should work.
