How to install JDeveloper 12.2.1.3 on a M1 Macbook?

Question

Any hints how to install jdev 12.2.1.3 or 12.2.1.4 on a laptop with a new M1 chip?

I installed jdk8 from Zulu, started the jdev installed:

kresimirzic@Kresimirs-MacBook-Pro jdev % java -jar jdev_suite_122130.jar
Launcher log file is /private/var/folders/wt/39zw_r0s7r1b7fcsqc9c63sc0000gn/T/OraInstall2023-03-26_09-42-52PM/launcher2023-03-26_09-42-52PM.log.
Extracting the installer . . . . . . . Done
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

kresimirzic@Kresimirs-MacBook-Pro jdev % 

But no success. Installation with root user is not allowed as well.

Thx Kresimir

Install this version of java to get the installation to work.

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH 
java -version
java version "1.8.0_202"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
