Wonderful! Works a treat!
A minor refinement on the blog post though:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
is sufficient. To run JabRef you only need to install the Java runtime,
not the full Java JDK, which is not needed unless you code in Java. Much
faster download as well.
Thanks once more. v3.3 seems to have a lot of features from my 'wish list'.

I installed it by adding a ppa:

As outlined on:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/01/install-openjdk-8-ubuntu-14-04-12-04-lts/
This way I get updates, which are occurring with regularity.

I'm using OpenJDK 8 + JabRef 3 under Ubuntu 14.04, so I know you
can do that. I think the problem is because you're using Java 7.
I take it you were running Java 2.x prior to now?
Oh! How have you installed OpenJDK 8? I notice that the OpenJDK
website (http://openjdk.java.net/install/index.html) contains the
installation instructions for JDK 8:
Debian, Ubuntu, /etc./
On the command line, type:
*$* sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
... but this package does not exist in the Ubuntu repo. Have you
installed it directly from OpenJDK's Mercurial repo?
P.
Are you able to install more than one version of Java on your
machine? (You must be permitted to install/update some software
because you're able to install JabRef 3.3.) If so, you can have
two versions of Java installed, but have your symlinks all point
to Java 7. [I can provide a StackExchange link for how to do that
if don't don't know how, but are able to pursue this avenue.]
This will allow all your other Java apps to continue to work.
Then either build a launcher that links to Java 8, or explicitly
select Java 8 when you launch JabRef 3.3 by right clicking on it
and selecting "Open With > OpenJDK Java 8 Runtime". (You can also
implicitly build a launcher by right clicking on whatever it
places in your dock when you launch Java 3.3 in this manner and
selecting "Lock to Launcher", then slide the new launcher into
whatever position you deem appropriate.)
