Description
Once the JAVA9_OR_NEWER goes True in RemoteSwingLibrary.py, it is not possible for the library to run Java 8 based tests anymore, even if reinitiate is called. The code is missing a condition where JAVA9_OR_NEWER would turn back to False. Could be fixed by setting JAVA9_OR_NEWER to False in reinitiate.
I have an open pull request (Apr'23) where the similar change is done in initiate, but perhaps that is not a good idea. I'm planning to close that one.

Research direction
Read RemoteSwingLibrary.py, focusing on JAVA9_OR_NEWER and the reinitiate path; compare it with initiate and review the open pull request mentioned in the issue. Done means Java 8-based tests can run after a newer-Java run and reinitiate, without breaking newer-Java behavior.
