> What are my options now to use “jenkins/agent” and still get Java 8 working?

Extend the Jenkins agent definition by installing Java 8 in a separate directory. Define a Jenkins tool for Java 8 and have the job definition reference that tool. Refer a [previous answer](https://community.jenkins.io/t/jenkins-upgrade-and-using-2-different-java-versions/1571/4) for more details and refer to this video by Darin Pope
