Zulu JDK 7u161, 8u152, and 9.0.1 now available

Change effective on 16 November 2017

The Heroku Java stack now includes support for Azul® Zulu® JDK versions 7u161, 8u152, and 9.0.1. 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_152

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.
