Hi, Personnaly, I prefer use the latest "official" version from Oracle (JDK 1.7) : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html If you are on the Angström distrib, you have to choose the "Linux ARM v6/v7 Soft Float ABI" version. There is also a hard float version of the JDK8 (preview). It is available here : https://jdk8.java.net/download.html Be aware that you need to use an OS compatible with the hard float version (Debian or Ubuntu for instance).
A few days ago, I wrote a post (in french) on my blog on performance comparison between JDK7 and JDK8 on BBB and RaspberryPi.
