Description

The bug comes from the different interpretation of String.split() method in line 474 of org.apache.felix.gogo.options.Options (in Gogo Shell).

Here are the different results of the split method:
String val = "-k".substring(1).split("");
Java < 8:
val[0]=""
val[1]="k"

Java 8:
val[0]="k"

A simple fix can be an iteration of the characters instead of using split().
