Alternate command needed to install Java8 #12

Description

When I followed the installation instructions in the README, I got an error from this step as follows:

brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/java8 
Error: Cask 'java8' is unavailable: '/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask-versions/Casks/java8.rb' does not exist.

A quick troubleshooting process yielded this alternative command from StackOverflow that seems to have done the trick. It turns out that Java8 as listed is no longer offered through Homebrew. I thought I would let you know in case you want to update the instructions in your tutorial.

brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8

Cheers,
Dana
