Is this dependency on JDK/JRE 6 or 7 hardcoded anywhere? I added 8 now that it's widely used in production, but personally I'd rather remove the version numbers altogether as it's one less thing that needs updating.

I'm not sure, the dependency is whatever version Zookeeper wants. I'd imagine we could likely just say 6+ since afaik none of the newer ones are going to break old things.

It makes sense to replace this with something like: "To run Zookeeper you also need a Java runtime (JRE or JDK). Please refer to the Zookeeper documentation for compatible Java versions for each Zookeeper version."
