1894584 - Update JDK8 to version 8.0.412+8

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, task)

Description

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

We still use JDK8 for Nexus for the gradle-dependencies job. Turns out we haven't updated the version we use since late 2021. We should fix that. Unsurprisingly, it's green on Try.

Thanks for this upgrade, :RyanVM! For reference: :csadilek tried to bump the major version a year ago and Java 11 was still not supported back then[1]. That said, we should be able to switch to Java 11 now[2] \o/:

Java

Sonatype Nexus Repository is tested on and supports OpenJDK.

Nexus Repository versions up to and including release 3.66.0 require a Java 8 Runtime Environment (JRE).

Versions 3.67.0+ also support the Java 11 JRE.

We're using nexus 2 though, and as I understand it, updating to 3 will require rather big changes to the android-gradle-dependencies job, since nexus completely changed how it stores components (https://help.sonatype.com/en/upgrading-from-nexus-repository-manager-2.html).

Oh I had forgotten that! You're right, thanks for the reminder.
