I am using Windows 7 64-Bit - do I use version 11 or higher from this site?

I've compiled 2 binaries (.jar-files) which can be downloaded from the releases page. One is compiled using java 11, the other using java 15. Java is backwards compatible so if you download the latest version (17) you can run both.

Would you be willing to compile a version for Java 8? I'm asking because it's the current version for Windows 7 & 10; otherwise I have to install 400+MB of Java 17. I hope I don't sound like a jerk.

Jesus Christ, I guess some people ask too much of others - most people would like to be able to download and run a program, not have to go download and install additional software. No reply either, man excuse me for asking.
