Java Buildpack v2.5
I'm pleased to announce the release of the java-buildpack, version 2.5. This release was a long time in coming, and focuses on moving to the latest Java and Tomcat and has the following highlights:
- Improved Access Logging (via Guillaume Berche and and Kevin Kessler)
- Improved AppDynamics Integration (via Troy Astle, Max Brunsfeld, Mike Youngstrom, and Shaozhen Ding)
- New Relic on Java 8
- Secure Dependency Retrieval via HTTPS
- Java 8 as Default
