Corretto is still in preview, and only provides RPMs for linux for Java 8 at the moment.

It looks like https://adoptopenjdk.net/ is the best option for industry supported free support for Java updates going forward, and https://www.azul.com/ is best if you must have paid support. I don't see anyone interested in paying Oracle.

From what I understand, this is for version 8, later versions will be supported and updated for free. We had our membership software provider, Exerp, upgrade their backend and client Java versions to version 9, with another upgrade to 11 planned for next year.

We are seeing this as well but are less concerned as we don’t have a large footprint of Java SE right now. Going forward this does cause us to think differently about leveraging Java.
