We can remove it now!  https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/pull/590

The tip that said  "Apache NetBeans 12.6 can be run on JDK 8, with
some features disabled, if built from source using JDK 8." was added
by me.  It was only ever intended for 12.6 because of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6285

Officially, we decided to support building on JDK 11 and running on
JDK 11 and 17, as of NetBeans 13.

Unofficially, build on JDK 8 still works with NetBeans 13 because
certain Ant tasks (eg. sigtest things) and bits of testing
infrastructure don't actually work on JDK 11 yet!

We need to fix sigtest generation in delivery or we're not going to
get any API signatures for 13 into master btw.

Best wishes,

Neil
