You are mixing so many different topics and misconceptions that I think
you basically don't know what you're talking about.
Perhaps you should read up on what is Java first...

I think Fredrick's comments have merit. We know a lot about what works so
writing code to rewrite it if need be would not be too great an effort.

JAVA started as a SUN product. It is now an Oracle product. I spent a
number of years working with Oracle on license for their databases. A
number of sales people's statements about their licensing were dubious and
inconsistent so I'll admit I am slightly bias.
Having said that if we look at th
End of Java _8_, not all Java. Java 9 is already out, this is just a
version upgrade. So far, I have used JOSM on Java 6, Java 7, Java 8 and
Java 9 - this only means that ancient installations of JOSM will only work
with an older version of JOSM. (It's still possible to run JOSM build 10526

First off, Oracle could kill Oracle Java Runtime Environment, but the API
of Java is open and implemented e.g. by OpenJDK (currently also
Oracle-maintained, but not as easily killed.). Oracle could quit Java today

Fewer applications are using JAVA and it looks as if Oracle is withdrawing
from JAVA. It was originally developed by SUN who were taken over by
Oracle.
Someone who worked at Oracle has mentioned Oracle would like to be out of
JAVA by 2020 and that is the date for individual free licenses to expir
