To enable Java 17 preview in a Heroku app, you can follow these steps:
system.properties
file in your app's root directory to include the following line:java.runtime.version=17Source:www.lautturi.com
This will tell Heroku to use Java 17 as the runtime for your app.
pom.xml
file, update the java.version
property to 17
:<properties> <java.version>17</java.version> </properties>
This will ensure that your app is built with Java 17.
Procfile
, specify the Java version by adding the -XX:+UseJava17
flag to the JAVA_OPTS
environment variable:web: java -XX:+UseJava17 -jar target/<your-app>.jar
Heroku will then build and deploy your app using Java 17. Note that Java 17 is still in preview and may not be fully supported by all features and services on Heroku.
For more information about using different Java versions on Heroku, you can refer to the Heroku documentation (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/java-support).
