The documentation says "Any JDK 8 is fine" which I took as "JDK8 is required" - proceeded to download JDK 8 but then I was unable to choose this JDK as a SDK for the IDEA JDK. It was, however, happy with a JDK 15 I gave it, and proceeded to build the plugin without any issues. Therefore I changed the sentence to "Any JDK 8++ is a fine choice".

Thanks, Maurizio! I took your suggestion. Feel free to sponsor this change, as I said, I am not a committer for codetools.
