javac --release 11 is not (yet) supported.

This prevents using --release in conjunction with --enable-preview, which indirectly blocks the source-code launcher work.

$ ./build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk/bin/javac --enable-preview -source 11 play/HelloWorld.java
$ ./build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk/bin/javac --enable-preview --release 11 play/HelloWorld.java
error: release version 11 not supported
