      java --source 7 -Xlint:-options Test.java
      Unrecognized option: -Xlint:-options
      Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
      Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

      It seems the obsoletion warning comes from the javac part of the code and it assumes you are executing the javac launcher.
