Oracle Java JDK 6 or later (standard SDK is fine, you don't need J2EE), but not (currently) Java JDK 7 (see below)

Warning: DSpace does not currently support Java 7, as there is a known issue with Java 7 and Lucene/SOLR. For more details, see this article on the Apache site WARNING: Index corruption and crashes in Apache Lucene Core / Apache Solr with Java 7 as well as this bug report: 7073868
