@comius Do you have any idea on this?

[fmeum]

Set.of isn't available in Java 8. It's possible that the Junit 4 runner isn't compatible with Java 8 anymore.

Edit: d6ad383 introduced this.

It would be really helpful to be able to test against Java 8 in regular Bazel tests.

https://buildkite.com/bazel/culprit-finder/builds/5466#0187e1f9-c27b-41bf-99fc-2863f41d6e7d points to 99846b0, which I guess update the default java_tools to the one containing the changes in d6ad383
