Cheers, this saved me a hassle of reverting back to an older Java version.

I ended up installing java via homebrew brew tap caskroom/versions then brew cask install java8 more here https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2017/10/08/installing-other-versions-of-the-java-jdk-via-homebrew/ and adding it to JAVA_HOME similar to others here.
