I found it is possible to install JDK8 on Windows XP (to avoid install error - we have to change jdk-8u11-windows-i586.exe file with some HEX editor (for example free XVI32) and change string RegDeleteKeyExA with RegDeleteKeyA filling zeros instead two last letters).

But I wonder if the JDK8 will work without further problems - I mean related to various .dll and other files of Windows XP?

First link on Google:

Can I install Java 8 on Windows XP?

Java 8 is not supported on Windows XP, and Windows XP users will be unable to install Java 8 on their systems as there are known issues with the installer on Windows XP that prevent it from installing without manual intervention. If you are on Windows XP it is not clear that it is worth updating to Java 8 without also updating the OS.

Microsoft doesn't support Windows XP, nor does Oracle.

But it is possible to install it on Windows XP

You can install it but it may or may not work. Even if it works, doesn't mean it is supported.
