Vintage / Legacy Question

Hello

I have an environment in which is installed Oracle8i client installed.

I need to access an ancient Database with Ora8.

Created an entry in TNSNAMES with

OLDDB=

  (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS_LIST =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = XX.XX.XX.XX)(PORT = 1521))

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SID = oracle8sid)

    )

  )

I access to the database through sql*Plus

scott/tiger@Olddb

Access granted

Now I need to access it using SQLDeveloper.

Got an old sql developer (3.0.04)

Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 Version 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34 Copyright 

IDE Version: 11.1.1.4.37.59.31

Product Version: 11.1.2.04.34

Version ------- Component Version ========= =======

Java(TM) Platform 1.8.0_151

Oracle IDE 3.0.04.34

Versioning Support 3.0.04.34

But while trying to connect to ora8 DB (using TNS), it returns unsupported oracle version.

Is it a java version problem? Need to download older version??

Thank you for any help
