--release
flag introducedin JDK9, so that all generated bytecode follows Java 8 strict
compatibility, even when building with newer JDK versions (9 or later)
(this fixes NoSuchMethodError with ByteBuffer, and other potential
incompatibilities in bytecode generation that would make the code
unable to run on a Java 8 JRE)
ensuring it is at least version 1.8, and will fail fast when building
the Java libraries if this condition is not met.
