Jruby version suitable for OpenJDK 8 (Zulu JDK)

Question

I am looking for an advisable version of JRuby that supports OpenJDK-8 (Zulu-JDK) to run on a Rails project. Rails version- 4.0.13.

Answer 1

All versions of JRuby since version 9.2.0.0 will run on JDK 8. Since Zulu 8 is a build of OpenJDK 8 that means any appropriate JRuby version will run on Zulu 8.

Answer 2

Follow up question (using answer section to get better code formatting then commenting on the answer above).

I'm trying to get JRuby > 9.2.0.0 running Zulu 8 for MacOS ARM 64-bit (M1 chip).

I did a reinstall of the JRuby versions after installing that JDK.

$ rvm list
   jruby-1.7.27 [ x86_64 ]
=> jruby-9.2.13.0 [ aarch64 ]

Check ruby version and try irb:

$ ruby -v
jruby 9.2.13.0 (2.5.7) 2020-08-03 9a89c94bcc OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 25.302-b08 on 1.8.0_302-b08 +jit [darwin-aarch64]

$ irb
