Jaikoz 7.1.1 linux installation asks for java 1.8.0

Installation of Jaikoz 7.1.1 on linux gives an error message:

The application that you are trying to install requires a 1.8.0 version or later of the Java platform. […]

According to the information on http://jthink.net/jaikoz/jsp/download/checkjavalinux.jsp the java version has to be higher than 1.7.0_09. (Mine is 1.7.0_45)

Outdated information or hick-up in the install file?

Yes its outdated information, please you need to install Oracle Java 8, this is how you do it on Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

because this is more difficult than Java 7 I think I will bundle it with the installations like I do for Windows and OSX.
