I'm updating the src/README

There is one change that I'd like to get confirmation on - what the preferred
JDK is for GeoServer (say, from 2.7 onwards).

At the moment, relevant part of the patch would look like:

GeoServer needs a Java SDK, maven (version 3 is recommended) and git.
-While compiling GeoServer with OpenJDK 6 and 7 works now, Sun's JDK 6 is
still the recommendation.
-Under Debian/Ubuntu simply run:
+While compiling GeoServer with OpenJDK 6 and 7 works now, Oracle's JDK 7 is
still the recommendation.
+Under Ubuntu simply run:
+
+sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer maven git
+
+On other distributions, OpenJDK, maven and maven will almost certainly be
packaged. See
+http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html#javasejdk
+to download Oracle JDK if necessary.

-sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk maven git
-or
-sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk maven git

Its also up at github if that is an easier way to make markup:
