I expect so but I have not tested them.

Any Oracle JDK 8 or OpenJDK 8 is expected to work. I currently use
OpenJDK 8u131 for all development and testing.

Travis CI continuous integration uses an older Oracle JDK 8:

java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

Boundless Jenkins also uses an Oracle JDK 8 (amd64) but I do not know
which version.

Kind regards,
