Java Add Graalvm Native Image Support

This does the heavy lifting of adding GraalVM native image support to Java projects, handling the tedious configuration cycle that usually takes hours. It detects your build tool and framework, adds the right plugins and profiles to your pom.xml or build.gradle, then actually runs the build and iterates through the inevitable reflection and resource access errors. Creates the META-INF configuration files you need and knows the framework-specific gotchas for Spring Boot, Quarkus, and Micronaut. Worth using when you want native images but don't want to spend your afternoon debugging cryptic GraalVM build failures and hunting down missing reflection hints.

GraalVM Native Image Support

Single source of truth for adding GraalVM Native Image to a Java project, whatever the framework. Work iteratively: configure, build, read the error, fix, rebuild, until the native build succeeds and the executable runs correctly.
