Zulu JDK 8u112 and 7u121 now available

Change effective on 07 November 2016

Heroku’s support for Java, Scala, Clojure, Groovy and JRuby applications now includes the option of using the Azul® Zulu® JDK versions 8u112 and 7u121. To use Zulu with your app, create a system.properties file in the root directory of your application with the following contents:

java.runtime.version=zulu-1.8.0_112

Add this file to Git, and the official buildpacks will install version 8u112 of Zulu on the next deployment.

For more information on configuring your JDK, see the Dev Center documentation for Java. For more information on Zulu, see the official Azul documentation.
