Googling about how to install Oracles JDK gives a lot of obviously outdated and many contradictory results, but it seems that before of installing Oracles Java I must remove openjdk. Trying to do this in Yast leads to many many conflicts, which I am not able to resolve in a way that I understand.
Don't try to remove openjdk, you need it to satisfy YaST (dependencies). Instead, you use update-alternatives to tell the system which java to use. The site with correct and simple instructions (for openSUSE) is this: https://en.opensuse.org/Sun_Java (I recommend using the rpm, not the tgz) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
