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 on Java 7. Source: having done just that, yesterday).
No action required w/r/t JOSM, relax.
