Java 8 支持的最古老的操作系统是什么？

Question

I'm writing some software in Java 8 and I want to know how to write the minimum requirements for the product page, so its users know if it'll work for them before they try to use it.

For example, I know Java was, at some point, supported on Windows XP and OS X Lion, but I'm not sure about older versions of those, or the oldest Linux (shell?) version that supports it.

Also, I suspect there are other reasons I shouldn't try to make my software support these OSs, and if those reasons are specific to running Java 8 on them, I'm all ears!

What are the oldest operating systems that my Java 8 SE software will run on?
