Version in the Java Runtime Environment > CurrentVersion which sometimes causes issues with the GroupID configuration tool and prompt you an alert " Missing Java Runtime Environment 8". To avoid any compatibility issues and fix that error with the GroupID configuration tool simply change the value of Java RunTime Environment > currentversion to "1.8" as shown in the figure below. This problem may occur when you migrate from JAVA to Azul Zulu.
