Is it possible to run an ionic cordova build using Java 11 instead of Java 8? – Debian

I’m building an app using Ionic v5.2.7. When I try to run 

ionic cordova emulate android

I get an error

Requirements check failed for JDK 8 ('1.8.*')! Detected version: 11.0.5

I’ve been trying to install Java 8, but it’s long since been deprecated and Debian 10 doesn’t trust the public key provided by the webupd8team PPA. I’ve tried a few workarounds for installing Java 8, but if at all possible I’d much rather run this using a more modern version of Java.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: I’ve tried to install Java 8 using several different guides, all of which lead to a Package 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate problem

    I don’t know the answer of the main question but maybe you can try to install java 8 using jabba (it is like nvm but for java)

    I know this question is old, but maybe the answer helps others. You can try to use sdkman to install different versions of Java and switch between them quickly.
