The notes mention other resources as well, namely openJDK. It is not like Apple is going to block Java on the OS. And I don't think that anything has been done to even intimate that Apple is dropping X11. Let's not jump to conclusions based on no actual evidence or inklings of such.
OpenJDK seems a likely o ption, since IBM (which has too much invested in
Java to drop it entirely) is throwing its weight behind it. (Apple's far
from the only company that said "uhhh...." when Oracle took over Java.)
