Java is bigger than one company and even if Oracle disappeared tomorrow, there will be demand and supply of Java maintenance releases from the other vendors. OpenJDK is free and will be free. That means that Linux users will not be affected (distribution maintainers will build OpenJDK packages and ship them in the distro). For example, CentOS/RHEL will offer LTS support for OpenJDK, on par with what we saw with JDK 6/8, on the order of 6 years after initial release. On Windows and MacOS, unless you can/want to depend on personal-use OracleJDK, the situation is somewhat more dire. I am personally hoping that the Red Hat Windows build of OpenJDK https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download/ may become freely available (without the development-only condition, without support) and fill the space. Then there is https://adoptopenjdk.net build, and https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/. Not sure about IBM Java, what the terms and conditions are there. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Jiri Daněk
