Justin,

There is an issue in the code base that is reasonably common among systems
that operate at low levels and are migrating from Java 8 implementation
wherein they need the rt.jar from java 8 for compilation.   There are
several ways to solve this problem, Pekko (and I suppose Akka) require that
Java 8 be installed so that the build process can find the Java 8 rt.jar.
I suspect that all that is actually required to get the current code to
compile is setting JAVA_8_HOME to point to the directory with the rt.jar in
it.  However, the Java 8 rt.jar is still required.  I believe there is a
ticket to resolve this issue but I may be mistaken about this.
