      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Executing a shebang file with --class-path argument with Oracle JDK 11.0.7 leads to an error.
      Executing a shebang file with --class-path argument with Oracle JDK 14.0.1 works as expected.

      See examples below.

      #!/usr/bin/java --source 11 --class-path include.jar

      public class ShebangExample {
          public static void main(String[] args){
              System.out.println("Works!");
          }
      }

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
