`temurin` Distribution unavailable for `windows-latest` and `macos-latest` on JDK 8

Description: Woke up to find that temurin job doesn't support JDK 8 on windows-latest and macos-latest.

The JDK can be downloaded here, and macOS is listed, so it does have support.

This comment states the same thing for windows-latest.

Task version: v4

Platform:

• [ ] Ubuntu
• [x] macOS
• [x] Windows

Runner type:

• [x] Hosted
• [ ] Self-hosted

This issue is still relevant. Any updates?

Hello @gmitch215, We have started looking into the issue and we will update you once we have some feedback on this :)

"Hello @gmitch215, Thank you for creating this issue. We have investigated the issue and found that there is no JDK8 package available for ARM64 architecture for Temurin, as macos-latest uses ARM64 architecture in this link.

However, we tested using macos-13, which has an x64 architecture, and we were able to successfully set up JDK8 on macos-13. Additionally, we were able to set up JDK8 for Temurin on windows-latest without any issues.

Please find the screenshots for reference. Please feel free to reach us in case of any further concerns.

Thanks for the update. I found out that JDK 8 is unsupported for Apple Silicon according to their support page, and you mentioned that the windows bug was already fixed, so I'll mark it as closed.
