Looks like we have two choices: 1) remove the java8 option from workstation-setup or 2) print a comment that tells the user where to download from oracle java8

Any preferences community?

Having just helped a client set up a new dev machine recently with java8, I am leaning toward printing a message saying where they can download Java 8 but explain that it's EOLed.

@openbl .... if you have the urls handy, maybe a PR to the repo? Thanks!
