I'm trying to install java 10 on the 64 bit OS. I can install java 11 fine with sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk-headless, but when I do sudo apt-get install openjdk-10-jdk-headless, I get the error

Package openjdk-10-jdk-headless is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

I found a similar issue on the github page Java OpenJDK 8 LTS not available for download. It was closed with the message

For anyone else having issues like this, I ended up downloading the Oracle JDK tarball off the developer portal. It contains a precompiled JRE that I copied to the user folder.

I have been able to download the .tar.gz file for jdk 10 from the java archive and extract it, but running java -version results in an error saying

java: command not found

This was my process for installing java 10, but any version between (inclusive) 8-10 would work, if that makes this any easier. I'm not sure what to do next. Thanks for your help.

The openjdk-10-jdk-headless and openjdk-11-jdk-headless are available on raspbian Buster.

 ~ $ apt policy openjdk-11-jdk-headless openjdk-10-jdk-headless

openjdk-11-jdk-headless:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 11.0.9.1+1-1~deb10u2
  Version table:
     11.0.9.1+1-1~deb10u2 500
        500 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/main armhf Packages
openjdk-10-jdk-headless:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 10.0.2+13-2
  Version table:
     10.0.2+13-2 500
        500 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/main armhf Packages

You need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list as follows:

deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main

Then:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-10-jdk-headless

I found a guide here: Guide. I had to download the jdk from this site Oracle Java 8 Downloads and select the correct architecture, but following the guide after editing the java version worked perfectly.
