Section was introduced as part of [JDK-8179892](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8179892) (Update build documentation for JDK 9). It is then [referenced](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/5cae7d20adf9828e05d3cd2823c6b95ee1ab6db4/doc/building.md#windows) from Windows section in newer jdks. Maybe section could be added to jdk8 (possibly in separate PR).
