Yes, this is the correct file.

This message is not from the Java package from patters. This message would appear when you try to manually install the *.tar.gz in the package center like you would do with a Synology package. Please note that your downloaded file is not an installable Synology package.
Instead, you have to copy the *.tar.gz file to the 'public' shared folder on your NAS. Then go to the package center, navigate to the 'Community' tab and click to install the 'Java SE for embedded' package. This procedure will install Java on the Synology.

In a previous post you mentioned that you have already successfully installed MinimServer on your NAS. This shouldn't be possible without an existing Java installation. You can verify that MinimServer is installed on the NAS when you see the Minim logo in the package center with the green letters 'Running' below.

When you still have problems installing MinimServer on the Synology, please give as much detail as possible.
