I'm confused about the setup. in Readme, it states that we should use JDK 8, I installed JDK 8 (Corretto), but in the repo, it clearly used some features introduced in more recent Java versions, such as Var and record

Also, there seems to be a mismatch between package name and project structure:
for example the file CompletableUtilities.java is in .../OnJava8-Examples/concurrent/CompletableUtilities.java, but the package name declared in it is onjava, the compiler complains: Package name 'onjava' does not correspond to the file path

I tried to use a workaround adding the project's root directory into the dependency in Jetbrains Idea's IDE setting (Project structure -> modules -> dependencies -> add JAR or directories)
It seemed to solve the mismatch issue, but then there're other weird problems, such as on @OverRide: Method does not override method from its superclass

at last, in the readme, when referring to the right Java version, it points to Oracle's JDK 8, what's wrong with OpenJDK?

Also, when trying to build this project ( in Idea), it shows error like this:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'OnJava8-Examples'.

Failed to apply plugin 'com.mindviewinc.tagging'.
Cannot add task 'Applicator' as a task with that name already exists.
