Description of the bug:

The Unix bootstrapping instructions at https://bazel.build/install/compile-source#bootstrap-unix-prereq state that JDK 11 is required.
But the Windows bootstrapping instructions at https://bazel.build/install/compile-source#bootstrap-windows-prereq state that JDK 8 is required.
I’m attempting to build the release-5.3.0 branch of bazel on Windows and it appears that JDK 8 does not work, but that JDK 11 does.
I believe that the Windows bootstrapping instructions are stale.

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Bootstrap Bazel on Windows following the instructions.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows
