At this point, OpenJDK is *the* JVM.  Oracle, Apple, and IBM have
merged their efforts in to it.  Short of crap like gcj, there isn't
anything else available.  I see no indication that any patches or
security fixes will be made available once the EOL is reached.  If
anyone can find anything to the contrary please be sure to post it
here.
