I’d be curious as to where this took you—maybe I’ll set up a virtual machine 
and take a look.  That’s not something that we control, since it comes straight 
from Apple, but we can at least point people at a JDK.  

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html is the 
standard gateway to download Java, and it does have a JDK download link.

Apple stopped providing new Java releases as of 10.7, though they do have a 
legacy package that some applications still need:  

https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US

They never used the term “JDK”.

I’m assuming that this machine was also updated to a new OS, since you can’t 
even bootstrap without a Java runtime because of libiconv.

Get the Oracle 1.8u73 or 1.8u74 JDK (I’m honestly not sure why to prefer one to 
the other) from

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
