javac dependency not satisfied by installation instructions about trick

It compiles with java-1.8.0-openjdk without any problems. I haven't thoroughly tested each GUI, but the few I checked out seem to work just fine.

Interesting, you would think that with "development" in the name that it would have included the javac compiler. I've made a note of it in our wiki. Thanks.

We've done some testing with 1.8, as far as we know everything should work.

Alex,

We use 1.8 on the Macs and it seems to work well.

If Java OpenJDK makes some parts of GUI working funny (people experienced having problems like not being able to select items from a drop-down list and etc. using OpenJDK), you may want to switch to Java JDK 8 from oracle.com.
