Error Unrecognized VM option 'UseParNewGC' in JDK11

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When I set the combination of options -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC and -XX:+UseParNewGC in an application that has been upgraded from JDK8 to JDK11, JVM will not start with the following error message. Is option -XX:+UseParNewGC not available in JDK11?

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
Unrecognized VM option 'UseParNewGC'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
