After updating Eclipse today I get the following error when starting Eclipse:
Version 1.8.0_261 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 11 or greater is required.

But the newest Java version that is available on java.com is version 8, there is no version 11.

What must I do to start Eclipse again?

In case it's relevant, I'm on Windows 10 and this is my exact Java version:
java version "1.8.0_261"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_261-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.261-b12, mixed mode)

Thanks. Installing the OpenJDK binaries solved the problem.
