Thanks a lot, Oracle Java 8 and is the version that I usually use, and I
install a standard JRE.
Thanks again.

The full JDK is not required, the JRE is sufficient.
The java version I would personally recommend the most is the latest version of
Oracle Java 8. Next would be the latest version of OpenJDK 8, followed by the
latest version of Oracle Java 7, then the latest OpenJDK 7. I am pretty sure
that you can easily install openjdk8 with yum on RHEL7, without adding any
extra yum repositories or downloading anything from Oracle.
Whatever major Java version you choose, you should obtain the latest update
version. IBM Java should be avoided, because there are known bugs running
under that implementation.
I'm not sure there is an actual official recommendation, but the
*minimum* requirement would be Java 7 Update 1.
Thanks,
Shawn
