Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.

You got 404 which means that the desired resource was moved or removed from the repository.
In my opinion you should try install OpenJDK 7 from ubuntu packages. It's the same as Oracle's ones , there are some minor changes over the jdk policy files in $JAVA/jre/lib/security/, nothing more.

Try:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

I you still want the oracle version you should go to the web page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html. Be aware that you will need a Oracle User account created before download the jdk.

Thanks anyway .. I was trying to install Oracle JDK 7 but it seems the repo has been removed ... so installed JDK8

Wired...
I'm using "sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk" on my Ubuntu 14.04 and is working as expected... maybe you has something wrong with your Ubuntu packages management. Anyway great to hear that you were able to install java 7.
