Thorsten Glaser, the current maintainer of OpenJDK 8 in Debian, provides a repository which includes OpenJDK 8, built using the Debian OpenJDK 8 package (see also Debian bug #989736).
To install it on Debian 12, download the appropriate repository configuration file:
wget http://www.mirbsd.org/~tg/Debs/sources.txt/wtf-bookworm.sources
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo mv wtf-bookworm.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo apt update
You’ll then see openjdk-8-jdk, openjdk-8-jre, etc. available for installation as usual:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
