What JDK should I use for netbeans?

In Netbeans 8.2, it says to use Java JDK 8.1 or higher. When I use the latest version of JDK, Netbeans will load up but I can’t open or make new projects. When I get 8.1 I can’t use certain features of languages, like timers in Java.

What JDK should I use to have both Netbeans functioning and have all features of Java usable?
