If it's helpful, I updated my RaspberryPi from 3.7 to 3.8 by taking the following steps...

First I backed up the config files. Then...

sudo wget https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.8/traccar-linux-3.8.zip
sudo unzip traccar-linux-3.8.zip
sudo ./traccar.run

Then I edited the new config files (traccar.xml and default.xml) to put my specific changes back from my 3.7 installation.

sudo /opt/traccar/bin/traccar stop
sudo /opt/traccar/bin/traccar start
sudo reboot

(For some reason I then had to reboot to get traccar working, but it worked immediately after rebooting)

File "/opt/traccar/bin/traccar" doesn't exist anymore. To start service you can use following script:

/opt/traccar/bin/startDaemon.sh

What Java versions and packages are needed? 7, 8, headless jre?

Any help would be great.

You need Java 7 or higher.

Sorry, I missed that... You have it plainly listed for Raspberry Pi 3 oracle-java7-jdk when using the linux install.

Just installed the LINUX 3.10 on a new Raspberry Pi 3, Raspian "Jessie lite" image and it works great!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install libapache2-php5-mod
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-jdk
/opt/traccar/bin/startDaemon.sh

browse to ip:8082 to view maps and used port 5055 for incoming phone GPS data.

Thank you for doing such great work on this project.

You don't need Apache and PHP for Traccar.

How can I make Traccar auto restart when raspberry power on ?

It should auto-start by default if you installed it using official installer.

The new install I mentioned earlier started automatically with nothing additional needed. Nice!
