Description

The --release option of the compiler has safer guarantees of compatibility with the specified Java version. These guarantees are not available supported when using --source and --target (see: https://www.morling.dev/blog/bytebuffer-and-the-dreaded-nosuchmethoderror).

 

Now that we moved to Java 11 as the minimum, we should replace the usages of those 2 flags with just the release option.
