When I visit java.com it says that the latest version is Version 8 (Updated 251) and when I visit Oracle it says the latest version of jdk is 14.0, which one of these do I need to install to run java codes on Dr Java?

Kindly note that IDE dose not depend on JDK , so you can download any JDK with your current IDE , but the only differ is feature that you will get with JDK version

Other versions may of course work, but it seems Corretto 8 is the officially recommended version.

From the DrJava web page:

We strongly recommend installing the Amazon Corretto 8 distribution of Open JDK 8 available from the Amazon Corretto download page because this distribution appears to be the most comprehensive and best supported formulation of Open Java 8.
