Phoenix SHARE session 23993 - Java Update has details on how it will not affect the mainframe and other details on how the mainframe JVM relates to OpenJ9. I think some of session's statements are somewhere on IBMs site but I am not recalling where at the moment.

Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 8 or previous versions can get long term support through Oracle Java SE Advanced Desktop, or Oracle Java SE Suite.

Oracle has announced that, effective January 2019, Java SE 8 public updates will no longer be available for "Business, Commercial or Production use" without a commercial license. Anyone know how this would affect the Mainframe?
