Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing how discoapi represents and discovers Java distributions, then compare that flow with the DCEVM JDK 8 downloads at dcevm.github.io. Done means supported old DCEVM JDK packages are discoverable through the API.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Those JDKs are fairly old and no longer maintained but otherwise still pretty useful in development, especially for projects that still require java 8. Downloads are available here: https://dcevm.github.io/

For newer JDK versions, JetBrains Runtime includes DCEVM patches
