I want to install Java 8 using HomeBrew (brew) on my M1 Mac.

When I do

% brew install openjdk@8

I get

openjdk@8: The x86_64 architecture is required for this software.
Error: openjdk@8: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

I already have rosetta installed (previously, from running other apps).

Update; I know that there isn't an Open JDK Java 8 binary for Apple Silicon. But I do know that , for example, the Oracle Java 8 SDK works on an M1 Mac (via Rosetta). My question is more to do with how I tell brew to install an x64 binary regardless of the stated dependencies?
