Why cannot I see one of my Oracle java jdk in --config java menu?

I have recently installed a full Oracle jdk(not just jre) to my laptop, in /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java is its executable, yet when I type

 sudo update-alternatives --config java

, I cannot see it, I see only Oracle jre. Why and how to fix it?

sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java       1091      auto mode
  1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1081      manual mode
* 2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java          1081      manual mode
  3            /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java       1091      manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 0
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in auto mode
