Plugins need to be configured to build against specific JDK version.

A plug-in can't use a different version of Java from the rest of the application. It can specify a minimum version that it requires.
– greg-449
Mar 22 at 11:49
As @greg-449 already said, the minimum Java version can be set in theMANIFEST.MFe.g. with a line likeBundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.8. But as far as I know there is nothing for the maximum version (which might be a problem when things are not only added but also removed from the JRE which is the case since Java 9). Since a Plug-in project is an extended Java project you can configure a specific JRE in Project > Properties (which I guess will be ignored when using Tycho for building).

may I update a plugin or reinstall it to increase the minimal version?

Updating a plugin (with a new version number) can change its settings. Note that the plugin will not be run if it requests a version of Java higher than the one being used to run the app.

Some of the plugins are configured to build against JDK 1.6, although my machine is by default bundled with JDK 1.8. Could I force them to be built against v 1.8?
