Problem building jdk8

I use JabRef as my scientific reference database. I was asked to try the new
JabRef-5.0.0 so I built jdk11 using the java source in -current/extra. That
worked and upgraded from the installed jdk8.

Unfortunately, JabRef-5.0.0 is not working acceptably on my Ryzen7 desktop
and I need to drop back to JabRef-4.3.1. I copied the jave11 slackware
directory to jave8 and downloaded Oracles jdk8u-221. But when I tried
building it this error message was displayed:

# time ./java.SlackBuild 
./java.SlackBuild: line 25: /tmp/package-java: Is a directory
chown: missing operand after ‘root.root’
Try 'chown --help' for more information.
mv: cannot stat 'jdk1.8.0_221': No such file or directory

The build directory has the same files that worked for jdk11 (except for the
source tarballs):

/opt/jdk8-slackbuildd]# ls
README            jdk-8u221-linux-x64.tar.gz  slack-desc.jdk
java.SlackBuild*  profile.d/                  slack-desc.jre

I'm not seeing what I've missed and ask you to advise me how to build this
earlier jdk package.

TIA,

Rich
