I'd prefer to defer to Jan/Jon on this as they have a statement in JEP 
247 to say that -release is incompatible with these options. In any 
case, it does feel like the tools needs to take -release into account. 
If -release is specified then Gradle shouldn't be added -source/-target. 
This may be a timing thing as JDK 9 is still in development and it 
always takes time for the tools to catch up.
