Using this PPA you can install Oracle Java 17 for 圆4 and aarch64 architectures. Oracle does offer DEB packages for Oracle Java, however, these packages simply copy the Java binaries to /usr/lib/jvm, without doing anything else, so it's exactly the same as copying the Java directory to that location yourself.
This package automatically downloads, installs (with some tweaks such as better font rendering, add applications menu entries, etc.) and optionally sets Oracle Java 17 as the default Java (runs update-alternatives, exports the JAVA_HOME environment variable, etc.) on your system. This Oracle Java 17 installer is based on the Web Upd8 Java package (so the credits go to its original creators), with minor modifications. So the Linux Uprising Oracle Java PPA continues to use a script that automatically downloads Oracle Java (the binaries are not hosted in the Launchpad PPA). I'd like to note that even though Oracle Java 17 can be redistributed, the Launchpad PPA terms don't seem to allow packing it into a PPA due to its license. If you prefer to use open source JDK builds, check out those offered by AdoptOpenJDK or Zulu OpenJDK. Previously (from Oracle Java 11 until now), Oracle Java used a commercial license that allowed downloading and using it at no cost for development and testing only, but it required paying a fee to use in production.
Java 17 is the latest long-term support (LTS) release, and with it, the license has changed, the binaries being free (no cost) to use in production and free (no cost) to redistribute until a full year after the next LTS release. Oracle Java 17 LTS has been released recently, and is now available to install from the Linux Uprising Oracle Java PPA on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux distributions based on these, such as Pop!_OS, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, etc.
