Java - List EOL dates for free OpenJDK builds

[arend-von-reinersdorff]

Currently the Java/OpenJDK page lists the EOL dates for commercial Oracle builds:
Java 8 - Mar 2022/Mar 2025
Java 11 - Sep 2023/Sep 2026
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/java-se-support-roadmap.html#JavaSESupport

I would find it helpful to also list the EOL dates for free OpenJDK builds. Eg for AdoptOpenJDK:
Java 8 - Sep 2023
Java 11 - Sep 2022
https://adoptopenjdk.net/support.html#roadmap

Appreciate the suggestion. I'll look into this when I have free time but pull requests are always welcome. :D

I think we have to split the different distributions into different pages.

A category feature would be amazing going forward with more tools/products getting added

Categories are WIP with #23. Unfortunately it's a bit stuck... @captn3m0 hacktoberfest 🍻

Now Microsoft has one too: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/java/announcing-preview-of-microsoft-build-of-openjdk/.

Microsoft will support Java 11 until at least 2024.

Ref: https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk

Not yet recommended for production usage.

The AdoptOpenJDK page says:

As a general philosophy, AdoptOpenJDK will continue to build binaries for LTS releases as long as the corresponding upstream source is actively maintained. The Eclipse OpenJ9 Support Document covers extra support info for that VM.

and the OpenJ9 Support page says:

Eclipse OpenJ9 produces a new release every quarter that can build against all JDK levels currently supported by the OpenJDK community

So the dates will get extended till they match what OpenJDK ends up supporting?

I read through https://medium.com/@javachampions/java-is-still-free-2-0-0-6b9aa8d6d244, but it's still too confusing.
