I use a WIndows Server 2019 ssh agent that has AdoptOpenJDK 8u275 unpacked in a user directory with JAVA_HOME set in the environment of that user to use the AdoptOpenJDK 8u275 installation. It seems like you should not need the Oracle JDK at all if you use AdoptOpenJDK. That avoids the requirements for purchase of an Oracle JDK license and does not require privilege escalation. Is the Oracle JDK a requirement for some other reason?
When I run my Jenkins controller (Dockerized on Linux) on Java 11, the Windows Server 2019 ssh agent is configured to use AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.9.1 unpacked in a user directory.
