It is a good time to jump to Java 11. It may not be too difficult getting the code to run per se, unless you are using CORBA and some really old tech. It would also be a good idea to invest some time into the launcher scripts and modular packaging in your application.
However, it is high time you consider taking up a non Oracle distribution if you are looking for support. Rely on any distribution you can build yourself than going for a vendor downloadable distribution like Corretto. No vendor lock ins, even the benevolent ones.
My current favorite is https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK
I'm keeping a watchful eye on if any of these repos close/lose support. If anything of that sort happens, I'm ready to drop Java and rewrite it.
