[Suggestion] Java version support

I was planning the update to 4.9.1, mainly for the anime and dual-db features, but I'm struggling a bit to find minimum supported Java release.
I'm on Ubuntu which has openjdk-11 as a package, is that enough or should I go for 13/14?
Also I would suggest adding that in the release posts, would make it easier.

OpenJDK 11 is the current LTS release and installed by default, so that'll work. If you're stuck on Java 8 for some reason, then there's compatibility binaries for that as well.

The documentation is up-to-date as far as I can tell:

:idea: OpenJDK 14.0.1 or higher is a good idea if you're running on a single-core armv7 machine, and C2 is randomly crashing things. But that's just an oddly specific personal anecdote. ;)

FYI: version openjdk-13.0.2 worked for me
10.0.2 failed

OpenJDK 11+ is indeed required for all builds that aren't explicitly marked as JDK8 compatible.
