Is there a minimum JDK 8 version that is required in order to be
recognized by NetBeans?
That would be an interesting question to answer (and possibly document).
I know that there are some Maven plugins that have a minimum required
JDK 8 version.
I wonder if the original author could go and
its possible that there is a bug somewhere. Btw the link you posted is
for the download archive.
JDK 8 would be at u402. I have all JDKs (8-23) in the platform manager
and they are all recognized by NB.

I have several old projects that build against JDK 8. I've added JDK 8
to my installed Java Platforms, set my Properties->Build->Compile to the
correct JDK (1.8), and have set source and target in the maven compiler
plugin to 1.8.

You can clearly see from the filename in the screen shot that it is not
a jre but a JDK. I got it from the oracle site here

I guess it is a bug.
Thanks for the other tips

this explains it. The platform manager expects a JDK, not a JRE. The

Thank you for your input.
8-21 you say? But i tried Java 8 too and it gave the same error.
I am confused about all these versions. How come if you download the
latest JRE from Oracle you get Java 8 since the JDK went all the way up
to 21?

NetBeans 21
NetBeans 21 supports projects which use JDKs in the rage 8-21 with
limited support for early access dev builds 22, 23 etc.
javac itself dropped support for the 1.7 target in Java 20.
So your best bet would be to try NetBeans 17 which used nb-javac based
on JDK 19. Although I can't promise that
