I would suggest switching to OpenJDK 8 builds to continue receiving security
updates. Builds may be included as part of your operating system (e.g. on
most GNU/Linux distributions) or you can look at downloading a build
from a provider such as AdoptOpenJDK (https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html)

Hope that helps,
