Please do not simply copy from tutorial of other Ubuntu version without verification. For example, newest Java version for Unbuntu 18.04 is 10 and no longer need to be installed from other repository.

I have Java 1.8.0_181 on my Ubuntu 16.04.4, so why are you showing 1.8.0_171 as the latest version.  Isn't 181 newer than 171?$

java -versionopenjdk version "1.8.0_181"OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1-b13)OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

 FC: was your comment to the Article author or to me? I was wondering about the Java version numbers, not so much which went with Ubuntu 18.04LTS. If what you are saying, Ubuntu 18.04LTS should come with Java as part of the OS package?

The GUI for OpeningMeetings is like 1990's ERA.
