Graalvm Native Image

This walks you through the entire GraalVM Native Image build process with a practical, error-driven workflow. It detects your build tool and framework automatically, then configures Maven or Gradle plugins accordingly. The standout piece is the iterative fix engine that maps common native build failures (ClassNotFoundException, missing resources, proxy issues) directly to their metadata solutions. It covers Spring Boot's RuntimeHints, Quarkus and Micronaut patterns, and the full spectrum of reflection and resource configs. If you've ever hit a wall converting a JVM app to native and weren't sure whether to blame your dependencies, your reflection usage, or just GraalVM itself, this gives you a structured debugging path instead of trial and error.

GraalVM Native Image for Java Applications

Expert skill for building high-performance native executables from Java applications using GraalVM Native Image, dramatically reducing startup time and memory consumption.

Overview

GraalVM Native Image compiles Java applications ahead-of-time (AOT) into standalone native executables. These executables start in milliseconds, require significantly less memory than JVM-based deployments, and are ideal for serverless functions, CLI tools, and microservices where fast startup and low resource usage are critical.

This skill provides a structured workflow to migrate JVM applications to native binaries, covering build tool configuration, framework-specific patterns, reflection metadata management, and an iterative approach to resolving native build failures.
