Cold Fusion 11 Java versions between environments question

Hi,

The Java version for the Cold Fusion 11 in the Development and Test environments is:

Java Version  1.7.0_51 

The Java version for the Cold Fusion 11 in the production environment is

Java Version  1.8.0_25

Is it possible to bring the development and test up to the Java version in production without installing the Cold Fusion build that was used in the production install?

If so, how would this be done?

Thanks,

Mike
