    This is probably down to the fact that CentOS Linux 8 has reached End Of Life. The linked article explains that you if want keep with CentoOS8 you’ll need to change the repos to use vault.centos.org BUT there will be no further updates. If you want maintain updates you should migrate to Centos Stream to – one way to do this:

    sudo dnf --disablerepo '*' --enablerepo=extras swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos
sudo dnf distro-sync

    Also looking at your config it seems you have some references to Centos7 which might interfere with things, though hopefully the update will deal with them. Note: CentOS7 is supported till 2024-06-30.

    Pierz has rightly pointed. I would like to add few commands that change the repo to vault.centos.org

    # sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
# sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*

    Now run the command: yum list java*
