Github user zjffdu commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/2486 One workaround for spark 2.2 is that user could specify JAVA_HOME in its interpreter setting. I have verified it.  For JDK 8 support of Zeppelin, I think we could do it in another PR if it is OK to upgrade to JDK8 for all the components of Zeppelin. We may need to discuss it in community first.
