[Baesken, Matthias]

You mean instead of   BOOT_JDK_SOURCETARGET   use  BOOT_JDK_RELEASETARGET   (and set '--release N-1'  there)  ?

Best regards, Matthias

There is a variable BOOT_JDK_SOURCETARGET exported from configure and picked up in JavaCompilation.gmk. We should probably change the name of the variable as well to avoid confusion.

Hi Erik, the  '--release N-1'   sounds like a good idea ; where do we have to set it ?

Best regards, Matthias


>To me that sounds like GHA are miss-configured for the update releases. To work around this, perhaps we should set an explicit '--release N-1' argument when building source intended to run on the bootjdk. It looks like we currently set '-source N-1 -target N-1' but that isn't enough as it won't change the available JDK APIs to link to.
