Something like that yes. Maybe just BOOT_JDK_RELEASE, or possibly
BOOT_JDK_RELEASE_FLAG?

You mean instead of BOOT_JDK_SOURCETARGET use
BOOT_JDK_RELEASETARGET (and set '--release N-1' there) ?

There is a variable BOOT_JDK_SOURCETARGET exported from configure and
picked up in JavaCompilation.gmk. We should probably change the name
of the variable as well to avoid confusion.

Hi Erik, the '--release N-1' sounds like a good idea ; where do
we have to set it ?
Best regards, Matthias
>To me that sounds like GHA are miss-configured for the update
releases. To work around this, perhaps we should set an explicit
'--release N-1' argument when building source intended to run on
the bootjdk. It looks like we currently set '-source N-1 -target
N-1' but that isn't enough as it won't change the available JDK
APIs to link to.
