[BUG]: Setup instructions for JDK 8 on Mac no longer work

[kkmurerwa]

Describe the bug

When working with the Bazel setup instructions for Mac, the step involving installing JDK 8 using AdoptOpenJDK and Homebrew no longer works and gives the error below.

This issue happens because the adoptopenjdk cask is being deprecated in favour of temurin.

Steps To Reproduce

Uninstall your AdoptOpenJDK8 and try to reinstall it using the instructions on step 3 of the Bazel Mac setup page.

Expected Behavior

I expect the installation to go on as expected.

To fix this issue, follow the steps below as described in the solution for this issue.

1. Untap the AdoptOpenJDK Cask

brew untap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk

2. Update cask versions

brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

3. Install Temurin in the place of the AdoptOpenJDK cask

brew install --cask temurin8

@kkmurerwa, per the information you have provided in the issue, What changes need to be made? Is it only updating the documentation to point to temurin instead of openjdk?

[kkmurerwa]

@adhiamboperes that is correct. The only change needed is switching from AdoptOpenJDK to Temurin.

[adhiamboperes]

@kkmurerwa, #4886 updates Bazel to 6.5, and openjdk11. Has support for adoptopenjdk11 also been deprecated?

Is this still needed @kkmurerwa / @adhiamboperes now that we're no longer using the local JDK for anything in Bazel?

@BenHenning, closing this since the jdk setup step has already been removed from the wiki.
