Ask here:

https://github.com/eclipse-windowbuilder/windowbuilder/discussions

I imagine these days you'd be better off to use Java 11 or Java 17, i.e., newer long-term-support versions of Java.

Possibly time to go to that GitHub discussions area, but you can download an up to date OpenJDK build from https://adoptium.net/, and then pick the folder that contains the "bin" folder as a JDK path. Not the one inside a "jre" directory. Not the "bin" directory itself.
