Here is how to install java from Oracle on Fedora. We normally do not want this, unless we need to run a java program.

  1. Go here and download the Linux x64 rpm version.
  2. Then install with 
    cd Downloads/
# do not install with dnf but with rpm
sudo rpm -ihvh ./jre*linux-x64.rpm
  3. Tell your system which java you are going to use with sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java and choose number 2 (number 1 should be the open java version…)

Be happy!
