Ok. It seems the nightly job to publish the snapshot jars uses Java 11. It does not explicitly install Java 8 but maybe, it's possible that Java 8 is installed silently,
The nightly build does produce jars that can be used by Java 8. So if this nightly build relies on the silent installation of Java 8, should we add a check in our sbt script that will fail if Java 8 is not found? This could be useful for users who are building on their own machines.
