Two Java Version(JDK 1.7 & JDK 1.8) on same machine

My current Java version is

java version "1.7.0_80"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b11, mixed mode)

I want to install Java 8 too in same machine & use it as per my requirement.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.0.4 LTS

Is that possible? Please help!!

I currently am running both Java 7 and Java 8 on my computer here is a link to the guide I used to install Java 8 This sets my default Java to 8, but if I want to run something under Java 7 I can right click as select run with openJDKJava7.

Hope this helps!
