Red5 doesn't start because of java8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi
It seems recently Ubuntu server repo's changed default Java version to 8 so 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 directory doesn't exist anymore and it is 
changed to /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/
But in red5 init file (/etc/init.d/bbb-red5) JAVA_HOME still refers to old 
path, and prevents red5 start,
I changed JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java and now it works fine, please 
update bbb-red5 in installation package/
Thanks

Hi,

We just setup a new Ubuntu 14.04 server and it still has Java 7

 java -version
java version "1.7.0_65"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3) (7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

Can you confirm your installing on Ubuntu 14.04
