Since i saw a leak by izap in the general forum, i found out that my root file for the GT-I9070 should work for this device as well.
Also, keeping in mind the nature of new xda users, i create this thread.!

It is a hassle free process. No kernel changing required.
It doesn't increase the binary counter.

Download here : Root

How to :
1. Download the zip and place it in the root of your sd card.
PS : SD Card is a must.
2. Reboot to the stock recovery.
3. Select install update from external storage.
4. Select the root.zip file.
5. Viola

Enjoy your rooted JB.

Note : This method has been derived from a method to root SGS2. Thanks to Phil3759 and his thread.

Mmm, anyone experienced the issue where the Android System Recovery just doesn't respond to you pressing anything. It literally doesn't do anything, you can scroll up and down but not press anything. The android image in the middle of the screen has an exclamation mark, but I can't remember if that was there before.

Umm, I am an idiot. I can get into ODIN flash mode, but not to Stock Recovery... how do I do that?

    I suggest using the terminal method, in JB since getting into CWM is hard for others.
