Attention
Pantheon requires Java 8+ to compile; earlier versions are not supported. Pantheon is currently supported only on 64-bit versions of Windows, and requires a 64-bit version of JDK/JRE. We recommend that you also remove any 32-bit JDK/JRE installations.
From v1.2, Pantheon will require Java 11. That is, Pantheon on Java 8 will no longer be supported.
