According to the Git page (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen) if you want to build you need at least java 11. To use with Java 8 you need to get one of the releases from https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/releases/. At least that's what I read from this:

To build project from source, as it's specified in documentation, you need to meet two requirements:

• Java 11 +
• At least Apache Maven 3.6.2
