Java 8 Incompatibility with OCI Java SDK 2.81.0

[JoshuaWR]

The SDK team has found an incompatibility between Java 8 and the OCI Java SDK version 2.81.0.

The issue concerns the method buffer.flip(), which differs between Java 8 and Java 11 (which Java SDK 2.x is now built with). Customers using version 2.81.0 of the SDK may encounter the following error when running with Java 8:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.ByteBuffer.flip()Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;`

This incompatibility has been fixed in version 2.82.0: version 2.82.0 is compatible with Java 8 again.

If you are using Java 8, please do not use version 2.81.0, and use version 2.82.0 or newer instead.
