Those are 'versions', not 'types'.

From the POW of financials, this site might be more beneficial: https://adoptopenjdk.net/

Java SE 11.0.6 is the latest release for the Java SE 11 Platform
(which is a LTS - Long Time Support - version of the Oracle/Sun Java platform)

Java SE 8u241
Java SE 8u241 includes important bug fixes.

and even
Java SE 7 updates
Updates for Java SE 7 released after April 2015 are only available to Oracle Customers through My Oracle Support (requires support login).

And, apart from the Oracle/Sun one there are, or course, the openjdk one
openjdk.java.net/install/index.html
which has versions all the way back to at least 6 (through 13) and several other, see wikipedia
Quote:
In addition to the most widely used JDK discussed in this article, there are other JDKs commonly available for a variety of platforms, some of which started from the Sun JDK source and some that did not. All adhere to the basic Java specifications, but often differ in explicitly unspecified areas, such as garbage collection, compilation strategies, and optimization techniques. They include:

In development or in maintenance mode:

Azul Systems Zing, low latency JDK for Linux;
Azul Systems / OpenJDK-based Zulu for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, embedded and the cloud;
OpenJDK / IcedTea;
Aicas JamaicaVM;
IBM J9 JDK, for AIX, Linux, Windows, MVS, OS/400, Pocket PC, z/OS;
