I want to compile this program with the Java 9 compiler but with but 
with the --release 8 option so that it will run on a Java 8 runtime. 
The --add-modules option is not available if the --release options is 
specified.  Anybody know what the solution is?  Am I going at this the 
wrong way?

C:\Users\Knute Johnson>javac --release 8 -Xlint:unchecked -cp 
.;com/knutejohnson
/rosen/javax.mail.jar com/knutejohnson/rosen/PHD2Alarms.java
.\com\knutejohnson\rosen\AlarmDialog2.java:9: error: package 
javafx.scene.media
does not exist
import javafx.scene.media.*;
^
.\com\knutejohnson\rosen\AlarmDialog2.java:60: error: cannot find symbol
         AudioClip clip = null;
         ^
   symbol:   class AudioClip
   location: class AlarmDialog2


Thanks,
