Java Licensing:
If you want to pay for a supported Java, with long term ongoing patches: call a commercial vendor of Java such as Oracle, Azul Systems, etc.
If you want a free and open source Java runtime, use Open JDK. Some sources of OpenJDK pledge to backport bug fixes from newer versions for some number of years. Or you can simply make sure your product continues to run on newer versions -- which for Java, according to history, has been easy to do.
