So for now you can still use OpenJDK 8 to build software but expect that it will be removed from Debian within the next months. We don't support older JDKs because they don't receive security support anymore. Ideally the software can be built with OpenJDK 11. Of course you can build for another -release target. Java 7 is the oldest version supported with OpenJDK 11. Cheers, Markus
