1	# GraalVM Native Image for Java Applications
2
3	Expert skill for building high-performance native executables from Java applications using GraalVM Native Image, dramatically reducing startup time and memory consumption.
4
5	## Overview
6
7	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.
8
9	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.
10
11	## When to Use
12
13	Use this skill when:
14	- Converting a JVM-based Java application to a GraalVM native executable
15	- Optimizing cold start times for serverless or containerized deployments
16	- Reducing memory footprint (RSS) of Java microservices
17	- Configuring Maven or Gradle with GraalVM Native Build Tools
18	- Resolving `ClassNotFoundException`, `NoSuchMethodException`, or missing resource errors in native builds
19	- Generating or editing `reflect-config.json`, `resource-config.json`, or other GraalVM metadata files
20	- Using the GraalVM tracing agent to collect reachability metadata
21	- Implementing `RuntimeHints` for Spring Boot native support
22	- Building native images with Quarkus or Micronaut
23
24	## Instructions
25
26	### 1. Contextual Project Analysis
27
28	Before any configuration, analyze the project to determine the build tool, framework, and dependencies:
29
30	Detect the build tool:
31
32	```bash
33	# Check for Maven
34	if [ -f "pom.xml" ]; then
35	echo "Build tool: Maven"
36	# Check for Maven wrapper
37	[ -f "mvnw" ] && echo "Maven wrapper available"
38	fi
39
40	# Check for Gradle
41	if [ -f "build.gradle" ] \|\| [ -f "build.gradle.kts" ]; then
42	echo "Build tool: Gradle"
43	[ -f "build.gradle.kts" ] && echo "Kotlin DSL"
44	[ -f "gradlew" ] && echo "Gradle wrapper available"
45	fi
46	```
47
48	Detect the framework by analyzing dependencies:
49
50	- Spring Boot: Look for `spring-boot-starter-*` in `pom.xml` or `build.gradle`
51	- Quarkus: Look for `quarkus-*` dependencies
52	- Micronaut: Look for `micronaut-*` dependencies
53	- Plain Java: No framework dependencies detected
54
55	Check the Java version:
56
57	```bash
58	java -version 2>&1
59	# GraalVM Native Image requires Java 17+ (recommended: Java 21+)
60	```
61
62	Identify potential native image challenges:
63
64	- Reflection-heavy libraries (Jackson, Hibernate, JAXB)
65	- Dynamic proxy usage (JDK proxies, CGLIB)
66	- Resource bundles and classpath resources
67	- JNI or native library dependencies
68	- Serialization requirements
69
70	### 2. Build Tool Configuration
71
72	Configure the appropriate build tool plugin based on the detected environment.
73
74	For Maven projects, add a dedicated `native` profile to keep the standard build clean. See the [Maven Native Profile Reference](references/maven-native-profile.md) for full configuration.
75
76	Key Maven setup:
77
78	```xml
79	<profiles>
80	<profile>
81	<id>native</id>
82	<build>
83	<plugins>
84	<plugin>
85	<groupId>org.graalvm.buildtools</groupId>
86	<artifactId>native-maven-plugin</artifactId>
87	<version>0.10.6</version>
88	<extensions>true</extensions>
89	<executions>
90	<execution>
91	<id>build-native</id>
92	<goals>
93	<goal>compile-no-fork</goal>
94	</goals>
95	<phase>package</phase>
96	</execution>
97	</executions>
98	<configuration>
99	<imageName>${project.artifactId}</imageName>
100	<buildArgs>
101	<buildArg>--no-fallback</buildArg>
102	</buildArgs>
103	</configuration>
104	</plugin>
105	</plugins>
106	</build>
107	</profile>
108	</profiles>
109	```
110
111	Build with: `./mvnw -Pnative package`
112
113	For Gradle projects, apply the `org.graalvm.buildtools.native` plugin. See the [Gradle Native Plugin Reference](references/gradle-native-plugin.md) for full configuration.
114
115	Key Gradle setup (Kotlin DSL):
116
117	```kotlin
118	plugins {
119	id("org.graalvm.buildtools.native") version "0.10.6"
120	}
121
122	graalvmNative {
123	binaries {
124	nam
