Zulu JDK 8u144 and 7u154 now available

Change effective on 08 August 2017

Heroku’s support for Java, Scala, Clojure, Groovy and JRuby applications now includes the option of using the Azul® Zulu® JDK versions 8u144 and 7u154. 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_144

Add this file to Git, and the official buildpacks will install the specified version of the JDK 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.
