maven build instructions should address common distribution requirements

[displague]

Are there more complete build instructions that can be provided for people that don't live and breath Java builds?

On a vanilla debian install,apt-get install default-jdk maven followed by cloning the repo and running maven clean install yields the following errors: https://gist.github.com/displague/702f0405bfa932be5778

... And more in the gist

Java 1.3 is more than a bit out-dated. CFLint requires Java 6 or higher. v 7 or 8 preferred.

[displague]

The Java I get from default-jdk is openjdk-1.7. I also tried openjdk-1.8.

Can you try again please? Thanks.

BUILD SUCCESS with both OpenJDK 1.7 and 1.8 -- thanks!
