It doesn't work yet as-is; the 1st commit fails because that pulls GraalVM JARs which require higher version than Java 8,
and the 2nd commit which adds 4x binary JARs for Java 8 has some other issues (incl. how to have johnrengelman's shadow plugin package those JARs from the files dependency; once other problems with it are solved).
So we concluded that IFF we manage to (separately, first) do #433 then we can cherry pick (only) the 1st commit of this, and it should work.
