Just so you are aware, the 8.0-b132 tag is for the JDK 8 GA release, 
which was shipped in March 2014. That one does require gradle 1.8, and 
also requires Visual Studio 2010 on Windows, since the changes to 
support VS 2017 went in much later. I'm not sure why you want to build 
something that old, but if you do, it might also require other changes 
that aren't well documented.
