+ Smalltalk/X Java integration (`stx:libjava`) requires OpenJDK 6 or (better) 7. '''Java 8 and newer are not yet supported'''. 
+ However, you '''do not need OpenJDK 7 installed''' in order to build the system - Open JDK is required '''only when you want
+ to run Java code''' within Smalltalk/X. 
+
+ To install OpenJDK 7, the best is to install [[https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulu-linux/|Zulu 7]] (Azul provides `.deb` packages). The only issue is that Zulu packages set themselves as default for `java` and `javac` command which will cause
+ problems since other Java packages these days requires newer Java (`ant`, for example). To fix that, use Debian's 
+ [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives|update-alternatives]] to switch back to your desired default Java version. In short: 
+   {{{
+   wget https://cdn.azul.com/zulu/bin/zulu7.24.0.1-jdk7.0.191-linux_amd64.deb
+   sudo dpkg -i zulu7.24.0.1-jdk7.0.191-linux_amd64.deb
+   sudo update-alternatives --config java
+   sudo update-alternatives --config javac

 This should be everything you need to compile Smalltalk/X jv-branch as [[#InaNutshell|described above]]
