JDK 17 is not longer available, these builds were only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.

GlassFish 8 M13 fully passes the final Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile TCK and the final Jakarta EE 11 Platform TCK.

Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing.
