Quality of Java installers

Hi decided to get a 64 bit "bin" extension installer for Linux installation of JDK 6 u 27 and when I executed it, this is what it gave ...........

Unpacking...
Checksumming...
Extracting...
./install.sfx.9113: 1: ELF : not found
./install.sfx.9113: 2: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
Failed to extract the files.  Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of
the Installation Instructions on the download page for more information.

And a file Java installer generated .....

What is that messed up file above that the Java installer generated !!??

This is the quality of Java from Oracle. Oracle have been screwing up Java badly for so many steps since it took over Java by "eating up" Sun Microsystem.

Oracle..... HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA EXPECT US JAVA DEVELOPERS TO DEVELOP JAVA !!??

Broken Java installers for JDK 6u27 (64 bit), screwed up Java 7 features and possibly Java 8, undemocratic on the JCP board....

Oracle.... HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPECT US JAVA DEVS TO USE JAVA YOU PROVIDE !!??
