Kafka UI is not support JDK8 any more?

[waitspring]

My host's java version is 1.8.0:

java -version

openjdk version "1.8.0_262"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_262-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.262-b10, mixed mode)

And I have used this command to start Kafka UI:

java -jar kafka-ui-api-v0.7.0.jar

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/springframework/boot/loader/JarLauncher has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

Is Kafka UI can not support JDK8 any more?

Hi, you have to update to jre17 or use the provided docker image. The current codebase is java 17.
