I'm on Ubuntu and I use OpenJDK 7 which is the default JDK. I don't know
why you "gasp" at OpenJDK, but it works great and I never had any problems
with it. Plus, I trust the OpenJDK package to get more security updates
than Oracle's official JDK. Seriously.

I do have the official Oracle JDK 7 installed (for testing), plus early
builds of JDK 8 (for playing around with it). Ubuntu makes that easy due to
"update-java-alternatives", so having multiple versions installed is really
not an issue.

If you're on Ubuntu and you want the official Oracle JDK (both 7 and
previews of 8), you only need to use this PPA:
