a nice overview (albeit in german) about what's going on w/ java
https://heise.de/-4144533
.

tl;dr
- releases will come every half a year with free half a year support
- some will become LTS releases (currently java8 and 11) with optional, commercial support
- openjdk will be the only free implementation (license, costs) in the future
- openjdk will also provide support for the LTS versions
- oracle java from java11 on will only be free to use in devel- or testing environments, for production it will be licenseable for a fee per cpu or user on desktop systems
- azul, redhat, ibm and others will provide their own support and/or branded java software
- some (redhat, ibm ...) skip non-LTS versions altogether

kind regards.. ede
