I checked the macOS build on jdk.java.net/12 and the javac -help output 
includes:

   --release <release>
         Compile for a specific release. Supported releases: 7, 8, 9, 
10, 11, 12
   --source <release>, -source <release>
         Provide source compatibility with specified release. Supported 
releases: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
   --target <release>, -target <release>
         Generate class files for specific VM version. Supported 
versions: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

The `java -version` output is slightly different to your output so maybe 
you have something else.
