No. Java 11 or newer is required.

BIRT 4.9.0 requires Java 11 because of its upstream dependencies. In theory it is possible to assembly BIRT 4.9.0 with older dependencies, but such an effort is not planned in the scope of Eclipse BIRT project.
Perhaps, it could be a sponsored activity to provide such a configuration, but this is a separate discussion.
