The IBM i Java Servers are IBM products, not Oracle so there is no impact
there. As IBM creates new JVMs for IBM i if you have support agreements
you'll be entitled to them.
Since IBM plans to support ACS with a more recent version of Java, my
understanding is it will move along with the Java versions. Note that the
end of public updates for Java 8 is 12/2020, so that's a long way off,
certainly beyond this budget cycle.

public updates for JDK 8
Steve:
Java 7 and 8 will continue to be supported on IBM i. No impact to IBM i
customers.
That's fine for the short term for IBM i server products like Navigator for
i. Longer term, what happens when Oracle deprecates Java 8?
What about PC based IBM i related products that depend upon Intel jvm?
Off the top of my head, that's at least Access Client Solutions and Rational
Developer for i in my shop.
