AWS App Runner adds a Java platform

AWS App Runner now supports a Java language platform for building and running Java based web applications. The Java language platform on App Runner launched with two [Amazon Corretto](/corretto/) runtimes - Corretto 11 and Corretto 8\. Both runtimes add the Maven and Gradle tools to your application's container in addition to the respective Corretto runtime version. Prior to this launch, you could only use container images of applications built on Java in your App Runner services. With Java support on App Runner, you can directly use your Java based source code with Amazon Corretto runtimes to build and run your web application on AWS App Runner. For more information, see [Using the Java platform](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/dg/service-source-code-java.html) documentation.
