Old (oracle) Java 1.8 is very outdated now, really shouldn't be used for anything these days. Only the updated Java-8.eb wrapper should be used instead, as it's all openjdk based instead, with more cross platform builds.

Depends on

#22988 Updated version
#22989 Updated version

All the other things had updated versions already using openjdk variants as dependencies, and/or are close to the 5 year cutoff for archiving, so I don't think it's worth updating these old versions with Java-8.eb dependencies.
Though technically they are not outside the 5 year cutoff right now, I doubt there is any usefulness here and getting rid of Java-1.8.eb is good as someone who doesn't know better might mistakenly start using it.

Only Java 8, more up to date, based on openjdk remains.

@Micket @branfosj This shouldn't have been merged, rather than moving stuff into __archive__, it should go to https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs-archive/ ?

@boegel Moving things into __archive__ does not hurt. It is a necessary intermediate step actually.
