Description
Summary
Add -source
and -target
options to javac
corresponding to JDK 12.
Problem
Part of starting development on a new JDK is adding .new -source
and -target
options to javac
. These options are used in the compilation of the JDK sources.
Solution
Add support for javac -source 12 ...
and javac -target 12 ...
.
The new value of -source/-target is also made the default.
Note: following the precedent set in JDK 11, "1.12" is not treated as an alias for "12".
Specification
No update is needed in javac --help
; the conceptual man page should reflect the increased range of -source
/-target
values.
