The M1 is just stupid fast, even with a stock oracle VM running with Rosetta emulation. A friend of mine got an M1 macbook air and I had him run the scimark2 benchmark on it. It was as fast as my Linux AMD Ryzen 9 3900X scimark2 results.

Turns out java has been moved into brew core recently, so the correct command as of August 2022 is:
brew install java
Then check your installation by running
java -version
If the result does not looks like this:
openjdk 18.0.2 2022-07-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 18.0.2+0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 18.0.2+0, mixed mode, sharing)
but like this:
The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.
Please visit http://www.java.com for information on installing Java.
Then you also need to create a symlink for the system Java wrappers to find this JDK:
sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk \
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk

As an add-on to the accepted answer: to install a certain version of Java, e.g. version 11, run:
brew install openjdk@11
And symlink it:
sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@11/libexec/openjdk.jdk \
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk

How to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on Ubuntu
Ubuntu systems need a Java runtime before they can launch packaged JAR files, vendor server applications, and other programs that ship Java bytecode instead of native binaries. Installing the distribution JRE gives the host a supported java command without adding a separate vendor repository.

Oracle has a poor record for making it easy to install and configure Java, but using Homebrew, the latest OpenJDK (Java 14) can be installed with:
brew install --cask adoptopenjdk8
For the many use cases depending on an older version (commonly Java 8), the AdoptOpenJDK project makes it possible with an extra step.
brew tap adoptopenjdk/openjdk
brew install --cask adoptopenjdk8
Existing users of Homebrew may encounter Error: Cask adoptopenjdk8 exists in multiple taps due to prior workarounds with different instructions. This can be solved by fully specifying the location with brew install --cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8.
