I cannot make Java 8 work for ubuntu in chrome 39 I already installed the jdk8 via ppa.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

I also tried creating the symbolic link from google plugins to 

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

What can I do?

Google Chrome 35 onwards does not support java plugin. If you want to use java on browser either use Mozilla Firefox or downgrade Chrome to 34 version - not recommended(backup your bookmarks and settings).
