Rémi,

This caught me out last week as well, and yes, it is being fixed; we should see a fix by the end of the week. We have Plan A, B and C, for a hot fix, not-so-hot fix, and long term fix ;-) -- Jon

/usr/jdk/jdk-11/bin/javac --release 11 error: release version 11 not supported Usage: javac use --help for a list of possible options Is there a plan to fix that soon ? Rémi [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193784
