I think thats trying to say we don't recommend the OpenJDK, since it doesn't
have all of the proprietary performance enhancements that come in
Sun/Oracle's flavor.

java version "1.6.0_07"

That is Java 6. The version number meant by saying Java 6, means the minor
version number. Java 5 would have been 1.5.x_y. So your Java version is fine
for DSpace 1.7
