You can look a the Launchpad pages like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8 to see the available version(s) for your Ubuntu release, or pages like http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openjdk-&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

You can only select packages fitting to the Ubuntu release that you are running.

You are running Ubuntu 14.04 trusty.

For this release the standard Ubuntu repositories currently contain:

openjdk-6-* 6b39-1.13.11-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
openjdk-7-* 7u101-2.6.6-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

You can install the newest available versions with commands like

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
or
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

There is no need to provide a version number to get the newest version downloaded and installed

If you want openjdk-8 for trusty you can refer to PPAs, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=openjdk-8 for a list of candidates

There is also Oracle Java here:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Super simple.
